Premium Review Process

Employers who are dissatisfied with any aspect of their premium calculation have a right to seek a review under section 157 of the Return to Work Act 2014 (the Act).

A new premium review process under section 157 of the Act was published in the South Australian Government Gazette on 30 June 2022.

The simplified process has removed the formal Tribunal-like steps and is designed to improve ReturnToWorkSA’s ability to resolve these disputes expeditiously.

Legislative amendments

The Return to Work (Scheme Sustainability) Amendment Act 2022 was passed by the South Australian Parliament on 6 July 2022.  Amendments to the Act have enabled the revised interpretation brought about by the Supreme Court’s decision of Return to Work Corporation of South Australia v Summerfield [2021] SASCFC 17 (Summerfield) to remain, while adjustments to other features of the benefit structure are designed to address associated Return to Work Scheme affordability and sustainability risks.
