ReturnToWorkSA

In reply to Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (22 July 2015). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform): I have been provided the following advice:

The average premium rate for the scheme is calculated based on the cost of claims, remuneration of insured employers and the administrative costs of running the return-to-work scheme.

ReturnToWorkSA does not collect information on the administrative costs of self-insured employers and therefore cannot provide any reliable comparison between the average premium rate of 1.95% to an equivalent cost of self-insurance.
