It affects injured workers (late weekly or lump‑sum compensation) and Commonwealth agencies (late premiums or regulatory contributions).\n\nLate compensation interest follows the Reserve Bank’s 6‑month overnight indexed swap benchmark. Late agency premiums use the prior May’s 90‑day bank‑accepted‑bill yield plus 7% p.a. The aim is to compensate delayed payments and discourage agency lateness."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-rates-of-interest-payable-notice-2016","history":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-rates-of-interest-payable-notice-2016/history","analysis":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-rates-of-interest-payable-notice-2016/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-rates-of-interest-payable-notice-2016/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-rates-of-interest-payable-notice-2016/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-rates-of-interest-payable-notice-2016/documents"}}
