When workplace injuries happen, quick and effective support is essential. For self insured businesses, it’s up to the employer to arrange care and recovery. Since 2014, we’ve helped businesses confidently manage this responsibility as a third-party administrator (TPA).

As a trusted TPA for self insured companies across Australia, we ensure claims are handled in full compliance with state legislation, prioritising employee recovery and return-to-work. Self insurance gives businesses more control over workers compensation claims, helping them to manage costs and streamline the process and experience for injured workers.

With experienced claims specialists across Australia who understand the challenges and requirements of self insurance, our tailored support ensures employers and workers are well taken care of, no matter where they are.
