b) was previously insured with WorkCover;

c) their previous policy was cancelled within six months prior to commencing the most recent policy; and

d) the predominant activity of the employer remains the same as the predominant activity under the previous policy.

4.3 Section 4.2 also applies to a household worker policy where the employer’s previous policy was cancelled within six months prior to commencing the most recent policy.

5 Calculation of PR16-17 for a new business of an acquiring employer (succession)

a) if the former employer holds or held a policy under the Act for the 2016–2017 year, its PR16-17, as calculated in accordance with this section; or

b) if the former employer’s policy under the Act had ceased on or before 30 June 2016,the PR16-17 which would have been calculated in accordance with this part if the former employer had an obligation to hold a policy for the 2016–2017 year.

5.2 Where an employer (‘an acquiring employer acquires either the whole or part of an existing business (‘the acquired business’), then:

a) the PR16-17 for each relevant WIC will be equal to the PR16-17 of the acquired business’ policy at the date of acquisition; and

b) the wages and claims experience of the acquired business will be transferred to the relevant WIC of the acquiring employer.

Where the acquiring employer acquires only a proportion of a business, the wage and claims experience of the acquired business transferred to the acquiring employer will represent the proportion of the wages and claims experience that represents the proportion of the business acquired.

5.3 Where an acquiring employer acquires the whole or part of more than one business, then:

a) the PR16-17 to be applied to the relevant WIC policy of the acquiring employer will be calculated by weighting the PR16-17 of the acquired business and the acquiring employer’s relevant policies in proportion to the wages of the acquired businesses and the acquiring employer’s relevant policies; and


Page 6 of 52

b) the wages and claims experience of the acquired businesses will be transferred to the relevant WIC of the acquiring employer.

8.2 For the 2015–2016 year, AP will be calculated taking into account the minimum premium provisions for the 2015–2016 year.

Part 5 — Calculation of an employer’s premium rate where they pay wages equal to or less than $1.5 million in a year


9.1 This part only applies to employers whose W0P is less than or equal to $1.5 million and where Section 12.1 and does not apply.

Page 8 of 52

Part 6 — Calculation of an employer’s premium rate where they pay wages greater than $1.5 million in a year


10.1 This part applies to employers whose W0P is more than $1.5 million.

10.2 If the employer commenced the business activity between 1 January 2015 and 30 June 2016,except as provided in Sections 4, 5 and 6, premium will be calculated in accordance with theformula PR16-17 = R for:

a) any allocated WIC on a new employer’s policy where the employer commenced toemploy after 31 December 2014 and before 1 July 2016; or

b) any WIC allocated for the first time to an existing employer’s policy as a result of a business activity which the employer commenced for the first time after 31 December 2014 and before 1 July 2016 year.

10.3 Where Sections 10.2 and 12.1 do not apply, PR16-17 is the lowest of the following options:

a) (E x Z) + [R x (1 – Z)]; or

b) R x 1.3; or

c) IR16-17 x 2, subject to Sections 10.5 to 10.7; or

d) IR16-17, if E as calculated under Sections 13 to 17 is less than IR16-17; or

e) $18.00.

10.4 Further to Section 10.3, where an employer’s PR15-16 was calculated under a rating category of the type set out in Part 5 and AW15-16 is more than $1.5 million, PR16-17 will be calculated in accordance with Part 6 and will be further limited to:

a) ((PR15-16 / IR15-16) + 0.1) x IR16-17 where PR16-17 is greater than PR15-16.

b) ((PR15-16 / IR15-16) - 0.1) x IR16-17 where PR16-17 is less than PR15-16.

10.5 Clause 10.3 c) may not be applied to limit an employer’s premium rate if an employer’s premium rate has been, for three prior consecutive insurance periods, limited to the calculation at Section 10.3 c).

10.6 Section 10.5 will not be applied whilst an employer is reasonably participating in the Injury Prevention and Management program.

10.7 Notwithstanding this section, WorkCover may calculate an employer’s premium in an alternative way that it considers to be reasonable having regard to the employer’s number and cost of claims during previous financial years.

11 Value for PR16-17

11.1 For the 2016–2017 year, PR16-17 will be the greater of:

Page 9 of 52

a) any allocated WIC on a new employer’s policy where the employer commences to employ in the 2016–2017 year; or

b) any WIC allocated for the first time to an existing employer’s policy as a result of a business activity which the employer commences for the first time in the 2016–2017 year.

13 Calculation of experience factor

13.1 Sections 13–17 apply where an employer’s PR16-17 is calculated under Section 10.3.

13.2 The experience factor (E) for each allocated WIC on an employer's policy is to be calculated in accordance with Section 14 of this part.

14 Formula for E

14.1 Where the employer's policy commenced prior to 1 January 2015, then for each allocated WIC on the employer’s policy, E is calculated as follows:

E =F x (S0 + S1 + S2 + C3)

x 100.W0 + W1 + W2 + W3

15 Date of injury

15.1 For the purposes of calculating S and C factors in Section 14, where there is doubt as to the date an injury was incurred, the injury is deemed to have been sustained by a worker on the date upon which the worker was assessed as having the injury by a doctor, nurse practitioner or a dentist under Section 132 of the Act.

16 Alternative method of assessment for particular circumstances

16.1 For the purposes of Sections 14 and 15, WorkCover may assess S, W and C factors in an alternative manner if it considers, in its sole discretion, that an employer has demonstrated particular circumstances that warrant doing so.

17 F factor

17.1 When calculating E under this Sections 13 to 17, the value for the F factor effective 1 July 2016is:

F = 3.7.

Part 7 — How a WorkCover Industry Classification (WIC) is allocated to an employer’s policy

18 One WIC per policy

18.1 Except as provided under Sections 20 to 23, WorkCover will allocate only one WIC to an employer’s policy.

19 WIC determined by business activity

19.1 Except as provided under Sections 20 to 23, WorkCover will allocate the WIC it considers corresponds to or most closely describes, the employer’s predominant business activity.

19.2 Without limiting Section 19.1, in determining the WIC that corresponds to or most closely describes the employer’s predominant business activity, WorkCover will have regard to the following matters:

a) the nature of the goods and services supplied by the employer;

b) the proportion of the employer’s total sales and revenue attributable to each business activity undertaken by it and the goods and services supplied by that business activity;

c) the proportion of the employer’s overall operating costs attributable to each business activity undertaken by it;


Page 10 of 52

d) the amount of the payments or estimated payments made by the employer attributable to each business activity undertaken by it to persons, regardless of whether those persons are workers of the employer or not. These payments include those made to persons engaged through an arrangement with another entity whereby the persons’ labour or services are provided to the employer by a separate service entity, a labour hire employer or a group training organisation;

e) the business activity or activities the employer holds itself out as performing or being ready, willing and able to perform those activities; and/or

f) any other matter that WorkCover considers relevant.

Example of WIC allocation

Company A performs plumbing and tiling services. Applying Section 19.2:

a) and b) 80% of the revenue is generated by plumbing services and 20% is generated by tiling services.

c) Operating costs for both activities are approximately 50% each.

d) 70% of Company A’s wages is for plumbing performed and 30% is for tiling performed.

e) On their website, Company A advertises as a plumbing company that can provide other services.

Based on this information, the predominant business activity of Company A is plumbing services.

Result: Company A will be assigned WIC 323109 Plumbing Services.

20 Multiple WICs

20.1 WorkCover may allocate more than one WIC to an employer where WorkCover considers the employer:

a) carries on more than one business activity; and

b) each business activity operates from a separate and distinct geographical location; and

c) the business activities are not incidental to each other.

20.2 For the purposes of Section 20.1 c), business activities are incidental to each other if, in whole or in part,

a) one business activity is unable to operate effectively without the other; or

b) goods produced or acquired by one business activity are used in the other business activity; or

c) any workers engaged by the employer work in both business activities to produce the goods or services supplied by that business activity; or

d) the business activities have the same customers; or

e) one business activity provides essential support to the other.

20.3 This section does not apply to a business activity that WorkCover considers to be a separate service entity for the purposes of Section 21.

20.4 WorkCover will allocate separate WICs to an employer’s policy with each WIC corresponding to, or most closely describing, each of the employer’s business activities that satisfy Section 20.1.

20.5 WorkCover may have regard to any of the matters referred to in Section 19.2 when allocating WICs under Section 20.4

Example of multiple WIC Policy

Company B operates two businesses; a petrol station and a hairdressing salon. Both the petrol station and hairdressing salon operate out of dedicated shop fronts however these shop fronts are located 25km apart.

Using Section 20.1, it is determined that Company B carries on more than one business activity and each business activity operates from a separate location.

Are the business activities incidental to each other?

To determine Section 20.1 c), regard must be had to Section 20.2:

a) Both activities operate from different shop fronts and are separate businesses in their own right. They are able to exist without each other.

b) One business activity retails fuel and the other provides a hairdressing service. These activities are not essential to each other.

c) Both activities have workers independent of each other.

d) As both activities are different in nature and operate from different shop fronts some 25km apart, it is highly unlikely these businesses have the same customers.

e) The business activities do not provide essential support to each other.

Based on the results of the above, it is determined that Company B carries on more than one business activity, operates from separate locations and are not incidental to each other.

Result: Company B will be allocated both WIC 400004 Fuel Retailing and WIC 951118 Hairdressing and Beauty Services.

21 Separate service entities

21.1 If an employer is a separate service entity, WorkCover will allocate to the employer’s policy the same WIC allocated to the principal business entity to which the employer is a separate service entity.

21.2 Subject to Section 21.3, where WorkCover has allocated to the principal business entity more than one WIC (whether or not those WICs have been allocated under the same policy), the WIC WorkCover will allocate to the separate service entity is the WIC allocated to the principal business entity that attracts the higher or highest WorkCover industry premium rate in Schedule 2 Column 3 of the WIC table.

21.3 Where an employer can satisfy WorkCover of the proportions of its wages which were paid, or estimated to be paid, for work attributable to each WIC allocated to the principal business entity, WorkCover will allocate to the policy of the separate service entity each WIC allocated to the policy of the principal business entity.

21.4 Where the principal business entity is not obliged under the Act to hold a policy with WorkCover, the WIC to be allocated to the separate service entity’s policy is the WIC that WorkCover considers would apply to the principal business entity in Queensland, applying the principles in Section 19, if the principal business entity did have a policy.

21.5 Where an entity is concurrently both a separate service entity and a principal business entity,WorkCover will allocate to the entity the WIC that attracts the higher or highest WorkCover industry premium rate in Schedule 2 Column 3 of the WIC table.

21.6 If an employer:

a) is not an ‘acquiring employer’; and

b) is a separate service entity; and

c) in the 2016–2017 year for the first time becomes:

i. a separate service entity; or

ii. insured under the Act with WorkCover.


Page 12 of 52

PR16-17 for that employer will be:

i) equivalent to the PR16-17 calculated for the principal business entity for the 2016–2017year; or

ii) if WorkCover has allocated more than one WIC to the principal business entity, whether or not those WICs have been allocated under the same policy, the PR16-17 WIC that attracts the higher or highest PR16–17 as at 1 July 2016 of the WICs allocated to the principal business entity; or

iii) if the policy for the principal business entity was cancelled immediately prior to 1 July 2016, the PR16-17 that would have been applied to the policy of the principal business entity had it not been cancelled; or

iv) if none of the above apply, IR16-17.

21.7 Where WorkCover becomes aware for the first time that an employer is a separate service entity, and has been a separate service entity in previous insurance periods, WorkCover mayreassess premium for the employer by applying the WIC required under this section, for all previous years in which the employer has been a separate service entity.

Example of a separate service entity

A separate service entity is defined under Schedule 1 – Definitions as: a business entity whose predominant business activity is the provision of any support, service or performance function for a principal business entity.

A principal business entity is defined under Schedule 1 – Definitions as the business operation or legal entity that the separate service entity has been established to support.

Example 1

Company C is a large construction company. Their WIC is 302016 Non-Residential Building Construction and premium rate (PR16-17) is 1.623. They decide to set up Company D to provide administration services to Company C and no other entity.

According to the definition of separate service entity under Schedule 1, Company D is a separate service entity to Company C.

Using Section 21.1, Company D will be allocated the same WIC as Company C, ie WIC 302016.

Using Section 21.6 i), Company D will be allocated the premium rate (PR16-17) of Company C, ie 1.623.

Result: Company D will be allocated WIC 302016 Non-Residential Building Construction with a premium rate (PR16-17) of 1.623.

Example 2

Company E is a large construction company that has 2 businesses and has been allocated 2 WIC’s under Part 7;

a) WIC 302016 Non-Residential Building Construction - PR16-17 is 1.623 and IR16-17 is 2.218.b) WIC 182913 Other Basic Polymer Manufacturing - PR16-17 is 1.932 and IR16-17 is 1.957

They also set up a separate service entity, Company F to provide administration services for Company E.

Because Company E has two different WIC’s, WorkCover must determine which WIC to allocate to Company F.

Section 21.3 does not apply as Company F’s staff support both businesses.

Under Section 21.2, WorkCover will allocate to Company F the WIC which has the highest industry premium rate; ie WIC 302016.

Then under Section 21.6 ii), WorkCover will allocate to Company F the highest of the 2 premium rates (PR16-17); ie PR16-17 -1.932.

Result: Company F will be allocated WIC 302016 Non-Residential Building Construction with a premium rate (PR16-17) of 1.932.

22 Labour hire employers

22.1 If the employer is a labour hire employer, WorkCover will calculate PR16-17 by:

a) identifying the proportion of the total wages paid by the employer which are paid to workers whose labour is not supplied to third parties;

b) applying WIC code 721236 to the proportion of wages identified at paragraph 22.1a)

c) ascertaining, for each third party to whom the employer supplies labour, the wages paid by the employer to the workers whose labour it supplies to each of those third parties.

d) by using Schedule 2 Column 1 of the WIC table, identifying the WIC Code from the following list that corresponds to the WIC Code allocated by WorkCover to the policy of each third party to which the employer supplies such labour,

A01100, B06000, C11000, D26000, E30000, F33000, G39000, H44000, I46000, J54000, K62000, L66000, M69000, N72000, O75000, P80000, Q84000, R89000, S94000.

e) applying the WIC Code identified by clause 22.1d) to the wages paid by the employer to the workers supplied to each third party.

22.2 Where the third party to whom the labour hire employer supplies labour is not obliged under the Act to hold a policy with WorkCover, or is a self-insurer, by applying the principles in Section 19 WorkCover will allocate to the labour hire employer’s policy the WICs listed in Section 22.1d).

Example of labour hire wages allocation

Company G is a labour hire company that provides staff to multiple client businesses in multiple industries.

One client, Company H, is in the civil construction industry where the occupation of the staff provided varies. Company H have their own policy and are allocated WIC 310915 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. They also engagesome workers through a labour hire arrangement from Company G.

Company G provides four workers to Company H: a labourer, a project manager, an accountant and a cleaner.

Even though all four workers have different occupations, the wages are allocated according to the industry of the client business. Wages are not allocated according to the occupation of the worker provided.

As the client business is in the construction industry, the relevant labour hire WIC is E30000 Construction.

Result: Wages for all four workers are declared against WIC E30000 Construction as this is the industry in which Company H operates.

23 Group training organisations

23.1 The WIC or WICs to be allocated to a group training organisation is the WIC or WICs determined under this section.

23.2 Where a group training organisation employs a worker who is not referred to in Schedule 2Part 1 Section 5 of the Act, the WIC to be allocated to the policy for the group training organisation is Group Training Organisation (Category 1).

23.3 Where a group training organisation employs a worker who is referred to in Schedule 2 Part 1Section 5 of the Act, the WIC to be allocated to the policy for the group training organisation is either:
