New South Wales regulation
What this instrument does (mechanics first)
Sets the formula insurers must use to calculate the workers‑compensation insurance premium an employer must pay for policies taking effect between 4pm 30 June 2003 and 4pm 30 June 2004 (cl.2; cl.3). The single-price outcome (P) is built from a set of components: the basic tariff premium (T), an experience adjustment factor (S), an experience premium (E), an excess surcharge factor (X), contributions and adjustments (D, Q, I) and any premium discount (Y) (cl.3 and Schedules 3–10). The Order prescribes each of those components and how they are calculated (Schedules 3–10).
Distinguishes two employer categories for parts of the calculation: category A (large employers whose basic tariff would exceed $3,000 on a 12‑month basis) and category B (everybody else). Some formulae differ by category (cl.3; Schedule 9; Schedule 10).
Provides a full industry classification (the NSW WorkCover Industry Classification System / Table A) that maps employer activities to percentage rates or per‑capita rates used to calculate the basic tariff premium (Schedule 3 and Table A). For some listed classes the tariff is a per‑capita charge (e.g. specific sporting or plate‑based activities); for most it is a percent applied to wages (Schedule 3; Table A).

2 Commencement
This Order commences at 4 pm on 30 June 2003.
3 Calculation of insurance premium payable by employer
The premium payable by an employer for a policy of insurance is to be calculated by requiring the premium to be calculated for a period of insurance of not more than 12 months and:
(a) if the employer is a category A employer for the purposes of the policy, in accordance with the following formula:
except that where the basic tariff premium does not exceed $112,000 (or, if the period of insurance is to be less than 12 months, where the basic tariff premium would not exceed $112,000 were that period of insurance to be 12 months), the experience adjusted premium
is not to exceed twice the amount of that basic tariff premium [2T],
(b) if the employer is a category B employer for the purposes of the policy, in accordance with the following formula:
where:
P is the premium for the time being payable by the employer in respect of the period of insurance to which the policy relates, being:
(a) except as provided by paragraph (b) below, the initial premium so payable in accordance with this Order, or
(b) where adjustments are required to be made to that premium by reason of the operation of this Order, the premium so payable by reason of those adjustments.
T is the basic tariff premium for the employer, calculated with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 3 to this Order.
S is the experience adjustment factor for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 4 to this Order.
E is the experience premium, if any, for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 5 to this Order.
X is the excess surcharge factor for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 6 to this Order.
D is the dust diseases contribution, if any, for the employer.
Q is the premiums adjustment contribution, if any, for the employer.
I is the input tax credit adjustment, if any, for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 9 to this Order.
Y is the premium discount amount, if any, for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 10 to this Order.

Schedule 1 Interpretation
sch 1: Am 12.9.2003; 24.6.2004.
1A Extent to which motor vehicle and accommodation allowances to be excluded from wages
(1) A motor vehicle allowance paid to a worker is to be excluded from wages for the purposes of this Order to the extent of an amount calculated at whichever of the following rates is applicable in the particular case:
(a) in the case of a worker paid an allowance under an award that specifies the allowance solely as a rate for each kilometre or part of a kilometre travelled by the worker in the course of the worker’s employment by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker—the rate specified in the award,
(b) in the case of any other worker—53.5 cents for each kilometre or part of a kilometre travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker.
Note—
Where a worker is paid an allowance under an award that specifies the allowance wholly as a lump sum amount or partly as a lump sum amount and partly as a rate for each kilometre or part of a kilometre travelled by the worker in the course of the worker’s employment by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker—the amount of allowance to be excluded from wages for the purposes of this Order is to be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b).
(2) If the amount calculated in accordance with subclause (1) is greater than the amount actually paid to a worker as a motor vehicle allowance, only the amount actually paid is to be excluded from the calculation of wages.
(3) The amount of motor vehicle allowance paid to a worker that is to be excluded from wages for the purposes of this Order is to be calculated using whichever of the following 2 methods the employer prefers:
(a) the method set out in clause 1B (the continuous recording calculation method),
(b) the method set out in clause 1C (the averaging calculation method).
(4) An accommodation allowance paid to a worker is to be excluded from wages for the purposes of this Order to the extent of an amount calculated at whichever of the following rates is applicable in the particular case:
(a) in the case of a worker paid an allowance under an award that specifies the allowance as a rate for each night the worker is absent from the worker’s usual place of residence—the rate specified in the award,
(b) in the case of any other worker—$130 for each night the worker is absent from the worker’s usual place of residence in the course of the worker’s employment.
(5) If the amount calculated in accordance with subclause (4) is greater than the amount actually paid to a worker as an accommodation allowance, only the amount actually paid is to be excluded from the calculation of wages.
(6) In this clause, award means:
(a) an industrial instrument within the meaning of the Industrial Relations Act 1996, or
(b) any agreement with respect to salaries or wages entered into under the provisions of any other law of the State between an employer constituted by that law and an association or organisation representing a group or class of employees, or
(c) an award, agreement or other instrument under the law of the Commonwealth or of another State or Territory, being an award, agreement or other instrument of a similar nature to an instrument or agreement referred to in paragraph (a) or (b).
1B Continuous recording calculation method
The continuous recording calculation method requires the following details to be kept and used for calculation:
(a) the odometer readings at the beginning and end of each business journey undertaken by the worker during a period of insurance by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker,
(b) the specific purpose for which each such business journey was taken,
(c) the distance travelled by the worker during the period of insurance in the course of all such business journeys, calculated on the basis of the odometer readings referred to in paragraph (a).
1C Averaging calculation method
(1) The averaging calculation method requires the following details to be kept and used for calculation for the first period of insurance in which a worker’s employer chooses to adopt that method:
(a) the odometer readings at the beginning and end of each business journey undertaken by the worker during the relevant 12-week period by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker,
(b) specific purpose for which each such business journey was taken,
(c) distance travelled by the worker during the relevant 12-week period in the course of all such business journeys, calculated on the basis of the odometer readings referred to in paragraph (a),
(d) odometer readings at the beginning and end of the relevant 12-week period for each vehicle provided or maintained by the worker for the purpose of undertaking business journeys,
(e) distance travelled by each such vehicle during the relevant 12-week period, calculated on the basis of the odometer readings referred to in paragraph (d),
(f) distance travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys undertaken by means of each such vehicle during the relevant 12-week period, calculated as a percentage of the distance travelled by that vehicle during that period,
(g) distance travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys undertaken by means of each such vehicle during the period of insurance, calculated on the basis that the percentage for each such vehicle for the period of insurance is the same as the percentage for that vehicle for the relevant 12-week period.
(2) After the first period of insurance in which odometer details are recorded in accordance with subclause (1), the calculation referred to in subclause (1) (g) is to be employed for the purpose of calculating the distance travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys undertaken by means of each vehicle referred to in subclause (1) during each of the next succeeding 4 periods of insurance, calculated on the basis that the percentage for each such vehicle for the period of insurance concerned is the same as the percentage for that vehicle for the relevant 12-week period.
(3) After the first period of insurance in which odometer details are recorded in accordance with subclause (1), a worker’s employer is not required to record the details referred to in that subclause for the worker for the next succeeding 4 periods of insurance unless:
(a) the Authority serves a notice on the employer before the commencement of a period of insurance during those 4 periods directing the employer to keep the details referred to in subclause (1) for those periods, or
(b) the employer wishes to use the recording method referred to in this clause for one or more additional motor vehicles used by the worker in any period of insurance or for any other reason.
(4) In a situation referred to in subclause (3) (b), a worker’s employer may make a new record of odometer readings for a period of insurance in accordance with subclause (1) to replace the details previously recorded for the worker. The provisions of subclause (3) then apply in relation to the new record.
(5) A worker’s employer who has adopted and employed the method of recording referred to in this clause for a worker for 4 successive periods of insurance must, in the next succeeding period of insurance, make a fresh recording of the details specified in subclause (1) if the employer intends to continue to use the same method of recording for the worker.
(6) If the odometer of a motor vehicle is replaced or recalibrated during any period for which its readings are relevant for the purposes of this clause, the odometer readings immediately before and after the replacement or recalibration are to be recorded.
(7) For the purposes of making the calculation referred to in subclause (1) (g) for the period of insurance in which this clause commences, a worker’s employer may estimate the distance travelled by a motor vehicle during any part of that period of insurance that occurs before that commencement.
1D Meaning of “relevant 12-week period”
(1) In clause 1C, relevant 12-week period means a continuous period of at least 12 weeks, selected by the worker’s employer, throughout which a motor vehicle is provided or maintained by a worker. If the motor vehicle is provided or maintained for less than 12 weeks, the period must be the entire period for which the motor vehicle is provided or maintained.
(2) The period may overlap the start or end of the period of insurance, so long as it includes part of the period.
(3) If the averaging calculation method is used for 2 or more motor vehicles for the same period of insurance, the odometer readings for those motor vehicles must cover periods that are concurrent.
1E Replacing one motor vehicle with another motor vehicle
(1) For the purposes of using the averaging calculation method, a worker’s employer may nominate one motor vehicle as having replaced another motor vehicle with effect from a day specified in the nomination.
(2) After the nomination takes effect, the replacement motor vehicle is treated as the original motor vehicle, and the original motor vehicle is treated as a different motor vehicle. An employer need not repeat for the replacement vehicle the steps already taken for the original motor vehicle.
(3) An employer must record the nomination in writing in the period of insurance in which the nomination takes effect.
(4) However, the Authority may allow an employer to record the nomination at a later time.

Division B Mining
The scope of the Mining division includes all employers engaged in ‘mining’, in exploration for minerals, and in the provision of a wide variety of services to mining and mineral exploration, as well as mining projects under development.
The term ‘mining’ is used in the broad sense to include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids such as coal and ores, liquids such as crude petroleum, or gases such as natural gas. Extraction of minerals is undertaken by such processes as underground or open cut mining, dredging, quarrying, the operation of wells or evaporation pans, or by recovery from ore dumps or tailings, and all supplementary activities aimed at preparing the crude materials for marketing.
Activities include milling, dressing and beneficiation of ores, screening, washing and flotation. These activities are generally carried out at or near mine sites as an integral part of mining operations. Natural gas absorption, purifying and similar treatment plants are also included in this division.
The Mining Division excludes employers engaged in refining or smelting of minerals or ores (other than the preliminary smelting of gold), or in the manufacture of such products of mineral origin as coke or cement.

1 Name of Order
This Order is the Insurance Premiums Order 2003–2004.
2 Commencement
This Order commences at 4 pm on 30 June 2003.
3 Calculation of insurance premium payable by employer
The premium payable by an employer for a policy of insurance is to be calculated by requiring the premium to be calculated for a period of insurance of not more than 12 months and:
(a) if the employer is a category A employer for the purposes of the policy, in accordance with the following formula:
except that where the basic tariff premium does not exceed $112,000 (or, if the period of insurance is to be less than 12 months, where the basic tariff premium would not exceed $112,000 were that period of insurance to be 12 months), the experience adjusted premium is not to exceed twice the amount of that basic tariff premium [2T],
(b) if the employer is a category B employer for the purposes of the policy, in accordance with the following formula:
where:
P is the premium for the time being payable by the employer in respect of the period of insurance to which the policy relates, being:
(a) except as provided by paragraph (b) below, the initial premium so payable in accordance with this Order, or
(b) where adjustments are required to be made to that premium by reason of the operation of this Order, the premium so payable by reason of those adjustments.
T is the basic tariff premium for the employer, calculated with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 3 to this Order.
S is the experience adjustment factor for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 4 to this Order.
E is the experience premium, if any, for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 5 to this Order.
X is the excess surcharge factor for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 6 to this Order.
Requires employers to provide returns and specific notifications for some adjustments (for example wages returns, input tax credit entitlement notices) and allows insurers/Authority to use prior-period data, estimates or default assumptions where employers fail to provide required information (Schedules 3, 5, 9; clause 3(1); Schedule 2(1)).
Delegates procedural discretion to the WorkCover Authority and Governor for certain numerical parameters and eligibility rules (e.g. F92–F94 factors in Schedule 5 are Governor‑determined on recommendation of the Authority; the Authority may issue guidelines and criteria for reductions) (Schedule 5; Schedule 4(4); Schedule 8(4)).
Who is affected
Employers who must hold workers’ compensation insurance under the Workers Compensation Act 1987: they pay the premiums set by applying the Order’s formulae (cl.3; Schedule 2). Small employers and large employers are treated differently in places (category A v B) (sch 1 defns; cl.3).
Insurers and the WorkCover Authority: insurers must calculate premiums in accordance with the Order; the Authority issues guidance, may exercise discretions and the Governor can set some numerical factors (Schedules 4–6; Schedule 5; cl.4 notes on schedules forming part of the Order).
Employers in particular industry classes: Table A assigns a tariff percentage or per‑capita rate to specific industries; these classifications directly determine the tariff component (Schedule 3; Table A).
Employers who fail to supply returns or information face default estimates (e.g. multiplying prior pay by 1.3 or assuming 100% input tax credit entitlement) or may lose access to some reductions (clause 3(2); Schedule 9(2)).
Why it matters (operational and economic effects)
Direct cost effect: this instrument fixes the statutory method for converting employer wages (or per‑capita counts) and claims history into a dollar premium. Employers pay higher or lower amounts depending on their industry class (Table A rates), claims history (experience factors and experience premiums, S and E), and participation in discount schemes (Schedule 10). Who ultimately pays: employers (cl.3; Schedules 3–5, 10).
Incentives and behaviour: the Order creates financial incentives for employers to manage claims experience (because S and E depend on claims costs) and for accurate record‑keeping (wages returns, ITC notifications, odometer records for motor‑vehicle allowances) because missing or late data may produce unfavourable defaults (clause 3; clauses 1A–1C; Schedule 9(2); Schedule 5(1)(a)).
Administrative and compliance costs: employers must classify their businesses to Table A, keep odometer and travel records if excluding motor allowances (clauses 1A–1C), notify input tax credit entitlements and supply wage returns. Insurers must run the calculations and apply caps, discounts and adjustments. The Authority and Governor also have roles that create further procedural steps (Schedules 4, 5, 8, 10).
Distributional effects: the Order contains concentrated items (large per‑plate or per‑mount charges for specific activities such as taxi plate classes, or per‑capita rates for particular classes) and a complex matrix of discounts and caps that may benefit some organised employers more than small or informal employers (Table A, Schedule 10, Schedule A lines such as taxi and sporting classes). The Order also limits exposure for smaller employers by applying a 2T cap where T ≤ $112,000 in certain calculations (cl.3; Schedule 10).
