Premiums, claims and return to work
Where premium pressure comes from
Premium calculations differ across schemes. Your remuneration, business activities, classification, claims experience and changes to your workforce may all be relevant. We review the information behind your current position and help identify questions worth testing with the insurer, agent, broker or authority.
Policy accuracy
Review declared wages, classifications, policy details and business changes for discrepancies or matters requiring attention.
Claims cost drivers
Understand claim trends, duration and return-to-work barriers that may influence future costs where the scheme applies experience factors.
Renewal planning
Prepare the information, decisions and questions needed before renewal or after a material change in your organisation.
How ABILITY GROUP works with your team
- Understand. We discuss your objectives, operations, current policy and premium concerns.
- Review. We assess relevant policy, wage, classification and claims information within the agreed scope.
- Prioritise. We explain the issues, evidence and practical actions to raise with the appropriate parties.
- Support. Where useful, we help coordinate follow-through and connect premium priorities to claims and return-to-work work.
The applicable scheme, insurer or authority determines the final premium and policy terms. We do not promise a specific saving.
When employers ask us to help
- A premium increase is difficult to explain or forecast.
- Operations, remuneration or workforce structure have changed.
- Claim costs or long-running matters are placing pressure on the program.
- A renewal, audit, acquisition or multi-state review needs specialist input.
- The internal team needs an independent view of improvement priorities.
Workers compensation premium FAQs
What factors affect a workers compensation premium?
Factors vary by scheme and employer, but can include remuneration, industry classification, claims experience, business activities and changes to your workforce or policy arrangements.
Can ABILITY GROUP review our current premium and policy?
Yes. We can discuss your arrangements and agree a focused review of the information and questions most relevant to your business.
Can claims and return-to-work outcomes affect premiums?
They can under some scheme calculations. We review the relevant rules and claims experience in context, then identify actions that may improve the program over time.
Can you guarantee a lower premium?
No. Outcomes depend on the applicable scheme and your circumstances. We identify potential discrepancies and practical improvement opportunities, then explain the evidence and next steps.
Do you only help at renewal?
No. Reviews can also help after workforce, business or claims changes, or when employers need greater visibility during a policy period.
