The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide): I have been provided the following advice:
The Return to Work Act 2014 requires the Corporation to fix an industry premium rate for each industry classification and publish the rates in the Gazette to support the calculation and collection of employers’ insurance premium. The Return to Work Regulations 2015 prescribe certain criteria that require ReturnToWorkSA to fix industry rates based on the industry’s injury risk, the likely current and future cost of claims and ReturnToWorkSA’s administration costs and finances.
ReturnToWorkSA published the industry rates for 2016-2017 in the Government Gazette dated 12 May 2016. The rates are available on the ReturnToWorkSA website.
The table below lists examples of industry classification and premium rates for small, medium and larger employers with 2014-2015 rates comparable to 2015-2016 rates.
