Step 2: Applying for a self insurance licence

Once declared eligible by the Minister an organisation may then apply to the SRC Commission for a self insurance licence.

The self insurance licence application must contain those elements as set out in the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Regulations 2002 (Part 4). The licence application must:

  • define the scope of the licence
  • be signed by the organisation’s principle officer
  • include the applicant’s organisational structure, ABN, location and number of employees.
  • include details of the organisations
    • financial and insurance details
    • consultation processes
    • rehabilitation management
    • benefit delivery arrangements
    • preventative measures
    • arrangement to secure liabilities
    • claims management system.

A copy of the regulations including a table with all of the required elements for a licence application can be found here.

Once all this information is provided, then the SRC Commission will consider the licence application.
