Claims performance and incidence statistics

For: Employers and managers Information seekers

Under section 69 of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988, Comcare has a function to conduct and promote research into, and publish material relating to, the rehabilitation of employees and the incidence and prevention of injury to employees.


Comparative claims

Comcare publishes scheme level data, trends and analysis through The Comcare Scheme webpage.

The data on this page provides data at the entity level across four indicators, allowing for comparison across entities in the Comcare scheme.

Notes on the use of the tables

  • General caution should be taken if using these data to assess relative performance of employers, as outcomes in a single year may be subject to a number of unique factors.
  • Multiple year comparisons may be subject to changes in the nature of an employer’s work and workforce as well as variation due to small numbers.
  • If these data are used in conjunction with agency premium rates, it should be noted that premium rates are also influenced by other factors such as the duration of incapacity and costs of medical and rehabilitation services.
  • Data may vary when compared to other publications (such as the Comcare and Commission Annual Reports, the Comcare Scheme workers’ compensation statistics and the Scheme Performance webpage) due to maturation of data and differing dates of data extractions.

Notes on reading the tables

  • Premium payers for this purpose are Commonwealth government agencies and statutory authorities but excluding members of the Australian Defence Force. Self-insured licensees are the Australian Capital Territory Government and national employers who have been granted a self-insurance license for workers’ compensation by the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission.
  • Employers are scheme entities that were members of the Comcare scheme at 30 June 2025. Where an organisation had been impacted by Machinery of Government changes in the periods covered by these data, claims performance has been attributed to the entity’s functions/responsibilities as at 30 June 2025.
  • Incidence of claims lodged is the number of claims lodged by employees, per 1000 full time equivalent.
  • Incidence of accepted claims is the number of currently accepted claims with an initial determination (whether accepted or rejected) in the period, per 1000 full time equivalent.
  • Incidence of serious claims is the number of claims initially determined in the reporting period with one week or more lost time, per 1000 full time equivalent.
  • Median lost time (weeks) is the middle point of recorded incapacity weeks for accepted claims that have had one week or more lost time.
  • The claims data includes claims within the reporting period excluding deleted and takeover claims.

Symbols and other usage

  • N.P. – not published as insufficient (less than 5) accepted claims with lost time to derive robust median.
  • N/A – not applicable, due to nil instances of relevant claims for period.

Data use and definitions

Using the tables

  • General caution should be taken if using these data to assess relative performance of employers, as outcomes in a single year may be subject to a number of unique factors.
  • Multiple year comparisons may be subject to changes in the nature of an employer’s work and workforce as well as variation due to small numbers.
  • If these data are used in conjunction with agency premium rates, it should be noted that premium rates are also influenced by other factors such as the duration of incapacity and costs of medical and rehabilitation services.
  • Data may vary when compared to other publications (such as the Comcare and Commission Annual Reports, and the Scheme Performance webpage) due to maturation of data and differing dates of data extractions.

Reading the tables

  • Premium payers for this purpose are Commonwealth government agencies and statutory authorities, but excluding members of the Australian Defence Force. Self-insured licensees are the Australian Capital Territory Government and national employers who have been granted a self-insurance license for workers’ compensation by the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission.
  • Employers are scheme entities that were members of the Comcare scheme at 30 June 2024. Where an organisation had been impacted by Machinery of Government changes in the periods covered by these data, claims performance has been attributed to the entity’s functions/responsibilities as at 30 June 2024.
  • Incidence of claims lodged is the number of claims lodged by employees, per 1000 full time equivalent.
  • Incidence of accepted claims is the number of currently accepted claims with an initial determination (whether accepted or rejected) in the period, per 1000 full time equivalent.
  • Incidence of serious claims is the number of claims initially determined in the reporting period with one week or more lost time, per 1000 full time equivalent.
  • Median lost time (weeks) is the middle point of recorded incapacity weeks for accepted claims that have had one week or more lost time.
  • The claims data includes claims within the reporting period excluding deleted and takeover claims.

Symbols

  • N.P. – not published as insufficient (less than 5) accepted claims with lost time to derive robust median.
  • N/A – not applicable, due to nil instances of relevant claims for period.
