Return to Work Scheme

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector regarding Return to Work.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: The average premium rate proposed under the changes to the Return to Work scheme is 1.9 per cent. My questions to the minister are:

1. Can the minister categorically claim that premiums will not rise above 1.9 per cent as a result of these changes?

2. Can the minister provide premium rates by industry and the impacts per each separate industry premium rate resulting from the proposed changes to the Return to Work scheme?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:26): I thank the honourable member for her question. Estimated premium rates are that, they are estimates. In relation to guarantees about different industries, I think there are some 550 different premium rates throughout the whole of South Australia. The APR, or average premium rate, is an average of all of those.
