Workers Compensation
As a self insurer for workers compensation we provide a professional level of service to all employees of the UNSW, within the legislative framework of our licence issued by WorkCover NSW. Our functions include:
Key Points
- The University is self-insured for workers’ compensation in both New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
- The University has been licensed by WorkCover NSW in New South Wales as a self insurer for workers compensation since July 1987, and in the Australian Capital Territory, by ACT Workcover since 1988.
- The UNSW is one of only two self insured universities in New South Wales
- Occupational rehabilitation involves restoring injured employees to the fullest physical, psychological, social, vocational and economic usefulness to which they are capable, consistent with their pre-injury status. It involves early intervention based on early reporting of injuries and provision of appropriate services on assessment of the injured worker’s needs.
