  1. The funding position is provided for the government insurer, Insurance & Care NSW which represents 74 per cent of wages within New South Wales
  2. Comcare data is, and has been in previous years, inclusive of risk margins and is not directly comparable to centrally funded schemes. Comcare provided data will exclude risk margins in future reports.

Care should be taken when analysing the information above as the valuation of liabilities differs across jurisdictions. The Comparative Performance Monitoring (CPM) report 23rd edition - Workers’ compensation funding attempts to address most of the areas where differences can occur.
