It applies to most employers who need this insurance under the Workers Compensation Act 1987.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Employers** in NSW who must hold workers compensation insurance (not self-insurers)\n- **Insurers** who provide this coverage\n- Different rules apply depending on whether an employer is classified as **small**, **medium**, or **large** based on their wages and premium size\n\n**What it does:**\n\n**1. Calculates insurance premiums using complex formulas**\n- **Small employers** (basic premium ≤$10,000 or wages ≤$300,000): Pay a simpler premium based on industry rates and wages\n- **Medium and large employers**: Pay premiums adjusted by their **claims history** (experience rating). If you've had more claims than similar businesses, you pay more; if fewer, you pay less\n- Premiums include several components:\n  - **Basic tariff premium**: Based on industry classification and wages\n  - **Experience adjustment factor**: Multiplier based on past claims\n  - **Experience premium**: Additional charge or discount based on claims costs\n  - **Adjustments**: For dust diseases fund, mine safety, apprentices, and GST credits\n\n**2. Caps premium increases**\n- To protect employers from massive hikes, the Order limits how much premiums can increase based on claims history:\n  - Smaller employers (premium under $50k): Maximum 1.5× the basic rate\n  - Mid-size ($50k–$150k): Maximum 2× the basic rate  \n  - Larger ($150k–$300k): Maximum 2.5× the basic rate\n- Special rules apply for employers who are members of **corporate groups**\n\n**3. Offers discounts**\n- **3% discount** if you pay your annual premium in full upfront (not by instalments) and provide wage estimates on time\n\n**4. Sets excess amounts for claims**\n- Employers must repay the insurer an **excess** for each weekly compensation claim paid\n- **$0 excess** if you report the injury within 5 days\n- Otherwise, the lesser of: the worker's weekly wage or **$1,774.50**\n\n**5. Sets interest rates for late payments**\n- Late premium payments attract interest at **1.018% per month** (compounded monthly)\n\n**6. Provides incentives for hiring injured workers**\n- Employers who hire workers with existing work-related injuries can **exclude those workers' wages** from premium calculations for up to 24 months\n\n**7. Special calculations for specific industries**\n- **Mining employers**: Additional premium adjustment for the Mine Safety Fund\n- **Employers with apprentices**: Discount for wages paid to apprentices\n- **Per capita rates**: Some industries (like taxis, boxing) pay per licence/plate rather than per dollar of wages\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis Order directly determines how much businesses pay for mandatory workers compensation insurance. The **experience rating system** creates financial incentives for workplace safety—employers with fewer injuries pay less. However, the calculations are highly technical, requiring employers to track wages by industry classification, maintain claims records, and understand complex formulas involving multiple schedules and tables (published separately in the Gazette)."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.

Employers pay the premiums; insurers apply the formulas using wage and claims data and the Authority retains limited discretion to issue guidelines or reduce factors (cl.3; Schedule 4 cl.5). It matters because it determines employer cost, reporting obligations and record‑keeping requirements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/insurance-premiums-order-2011-2012","history":"/api/acts/insurance-premiums-order-2011-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/insurance-premiums-order-2011-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/insurance-premiums-order-2011-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/insurance-premiums-order-2011-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/insurance-premiums-order-2011-2012/documents"}}
