Declaring wages: what you need to know

WorkCover accident insurance policies are due for renewal from 1 July, so it’s important to understand who you should cover for workers’ compensation and what wages you need to declare.

How your premium is calculated

You pay your premium provisionally—that is, you pay for your insurance at the beginning of a period, and adjust it at the end.

The method used to calculate your premium varies slightly depending whether the amount of wages you declare are:

  • above $1.5 million
  • $1.5 million or less.

In addition to your wages, your industry rate and previous claims experience are also important factors in your premium calculation.
