ReturnToWorkSA

In reply to Mr SZAKACS (Cheltenham) (24 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following:

In 2018-19 ReturnToWorkSA brought one prosecution against an employer and none were brought against workers or providers. No common law claims for workers have been paid out in 2018-19.

Registered or premium-paying labour hire employers paid approximately $23 million in initial premiums in 2018-19, which represents 4.4 per cent of premium paid by all employers to date. It should be noted that this amount is not final, as employers have until 15 September 2019 to reconcile their 2018-19 remuneration, which may result in premium adjustments.
