The ACT Government is changing the way that workers’ compensation for its employees is managed.
The ACT Government is now a self-insured licensee under the Safety Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act). The ACT Government’s licence will include past workers’ compensation claims, where the date of injury is on or after 1 July 1989 (ACT Government claims).
Employers Mutual Limited (EML) has been appointed to manage workers’ compensation claims on behalf of the ACT Government.
Comcare will continue to manage claims where the date of injury is prior to 1 July 1989 (Comcare claims).
About EML
We are a specialist injury claims management service who are the partner of choice for government agencies across Australia.
We know what it takes to reduce the personal and financial impact of workplace injuries. Our history of providing support for public sector workers is a long one.
We are working with the ACT Government to manage workers’ compensation claims which have previously been managed by Comcare. All new claims from 1st March 2019 will also be managed by EML.
We’re proud of the role we play in helping the people that support our communities recover from workplace injury. Injured workers from diverse government sectors look to us for claims assessments and to support return to work goals.
We maintain scheme performance with early-intervention, skilled case management, and injury prevention strategies. Focusing on the recovery journey brings better outcomes for workers, employers and our industry partners.
