How to positively influence your Workers’ Compensation premium

As organisations navigate rising Workers’ Compensation premiums, as seen in Tasmania with a 9% increase to the Suggested Premium Rates when comparing FY25 and FY26. The impact isn’t just financial—it directly affects how businesses care for their people.

By aligning premium strategies with jurisdictional requirements and employee wellbeing initiatives, employers can achieve more sustainable outcomes for both their workforce and their bottom line.

Join WTW’s Workplace Risk team for an insightful workshop focused on how targeted Workers’ Compensation strategies can better support your workforce, and positively influence premium outcomes. We’ll explore how premium structures work, allowing you to reinvest in employee wellbeing, recovery, and safety.

What we’ll cover:

• How premiums are determined and the implications for your workforce
• The impact of different underwriting models on employee support and recovery pathways
• How strategic management of Workers’ Compensation can lead to better injury outcomes and a stronger safety culture

This session is designed to help employers understand how they can effect positive changes on their premium spend, simplify their approach, reduce administrative complexity, and strengthen their commitment to employee wellbeing—while remaining aligned with regulatory expectations

Presenters:

• Kosta Savidakis, Head of Workplace Risk Pacific
• Gen Pitkeathly, Client Solutions Manager | Workplace Risk Practice
• David Allan, Workplace Risk Solutions Director I Pacific
• Gwen McKay, Tasmania State Manager – Workplace Risk
