“One of our award winners from last year was
the Department of Industry, who tackled the
management of employee tail claims by building
a responsive claims management framework,
based on good data and open communication.
In the four years since the injury management
model was implemented, the Department
reduced lifetime injury frequency rates from
14 to 2.5 and received over $8 m in premium
refunds—as well as premium reductions.
“By providing a platform for NSW government
agencies to share experiences, we can learn
from the outstanding work of our peers and
lift risk management and workplace safety
outcomes across the board,” said Ms Coombe.
Winners of the awards will be announced on 12
September 2018 at the Sydney International
Convention Centre.
