Every State & Territory in Australia has its own compulsory Workers’ Compensation Insurance Scheme; some States and Territorial Governments run their own schemes whereas in other States and Territories schemes are run by insurance companies. The bottom line is that Workers’ Compensation Insurance is a compulsory insurance for any employer in every State and Territory of Australia.
Over the years, Workers’ Compensation Insurance has evolved to a point where it is difficult for employers to keep up with the regulations and requirements which have a direct correlation with the Commonwealth’s Occupational Health & Safety Laws (OH&S) which any employer would agree is a minefield of legislation which can catch you out if not managed properly.

It is vitally important to get your Workers’ Compensation insurance cover right, especially for new businesses which might not know how many staff they’ll have in their first years; as well for business which have multiple State and Territorial representation where staff might spend some time working in multi jurisdictions.
For instance under New South Wales Law, it is quite possible that an employee on their way to work will not be covered by Workers’ Compensation insurance whereas, in some other States and Territories, that employee might be covered. thus, it is important therefore to have a firm such as RGIB’ assist you with this complicated area of cross jurisdictional insurance.
