Insurer-provided workers’ compensation information statements start on 1 January 2025

Starting 1 January 2025, workers' compensation insurers must provide an injured worker and their employer with an information statement about the workers’ compensation scheme after a claim is lodged. Insurers can provide these statements in hardcopy or electronically (such as a link in an email).

The statements are designed to help workers and employers navigate the workers’ compensation process and understand their rights and obligations in the scheme.

Download the information statements for workers and employers approved by the Workers’ Compensation Regulator.

Changes to employer information statement requirements

Recent changes to the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 included requirements for employers to give an information statement approved by the Workers' Compensation Regulator to workers before or as soon as practicable after the start of employment from 1 January 2025.

This statement has not been approved by the Workers' Compensation Regulator, meaning the requirements on employers will not apply.
