Report on self insurance arrangements under Comcare

28/09/2009

The minister for employment and workplace relations, Julia Gillard, yesterday announced changes to the Australian Government's Comcare scheme. After the 2007 federal election, the minister had imposed a moratorium on private sector companies seeking to join the Comcare scheme and announced a review to determine the scheme's suitability for self-insurers and their employees. The government has decided to maintain the moratorium until 2011, when uniform OHS laws are due to be implemented in all jurisdictions.
