1 Only includes workers' compensation scheme data from the ACT private sector.
2 Workers’ Compensation data is not available for New Zealand as New Zealand did not make a National Dataset for Compensation-based Statistics (NDS) data submission in recent years.
3 Previous reports referred to the scheme funding as managed, central and privately underwritten. For this report, it has been changed to publicly or privately underwritten as it better reflects how schemes are funded and provides for easier comparison.
4 Excluding Seacare, which is privately underwritten
