- Table figures in this table aim to give the reader an indication of the number of self-insurers in each scheme. For exact details on self-insurance statistics, readers should contact the relevant jurisdictional authority.
- Includes number of employees covered by self and specialised insurer workers’ compensation arrangements. Includes government employees covered by the Treasury Managed Fund administered by the NSW Self-insurance Corporation.
- For Victoria this figure does not include the self-insured employee numbers. The figure provided is the total FTEs of all self-insurers as at 30 September 2018.
- Self-insurers represent 7.7% of the Victorian scheme by remuneration. Although there are a relatively small number of self-insured bodies corporate, they represent some of the largest companies in Victoria. The two biggest self-insurers, in terms of employee numbers, are Wesfarmers Limited and Woolworths Group Limited.
- Contractors working for the Commonwealth will be recorded against their State of usual residence and hence all employed persons are recorded as being covered by workers’ compensation, again in these figures there is an inherent potential degree of inaccuracy.
- For New Zealand this figure includes self-insurers and self-employed persons who are covered by the Scheme.
