Premiums vary from industry to industry. Table 8.6 provides an indication of some selected premium rates. Apart from Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory, industry rates are not provided for jurisdictions with full private insurance underwriting, as each individual insurer sets their own industry rates. In the Comcare jurisdiction industry rates are not applicable as all employers are experience rated.
