2016 saw significant change across workers' compensation and in NSW in particular. 2017, looking ahead, is already looking similar with a significant industry change taking effect in April’17 and a key announcement regarding insurers expected in May.
In August 2016, we announced significant NSW icare changes taking effect in April 2017. This marks the largest shift in NSW workers compensation, with icare (formerly WorkCover NSW) assuming direct responsibility for premium processing, payments, credits, and related matters. While the full impact remains to be seen, we hope clients continue to receive the support they expect, and we remain confident in providing ongoing comfort and assistance to both clients and brokers.
With a desire to capitalise on his experience from a variety of roles in insurance (in both NSW & Vic), commercial, government and transport, Damien joins as our National Manager.
Prior to Ability Group I came from EML spending time in both TMF and Workers Insurance. I have also spent time with Gallagher Bassett and initially started with CGU in Victoria many years ago. Outside of workers comp I have spent time as a mortgage broker and worked in operations and account management within the transport industry.
The festive season is a peak time for weight gain. During the festive season, a typical Australian Christmas day is often centred around family, friends, eating and drinking. For many of us it is the culmination of weeks of socialising and overindulging.
After gaining around 2kgs, many people’s NY resolution is to try and lose this weight during the remainder of the year.

In August 2016, our Significant NSW icare Changes article outlined the latest NSW workers compensation changes taking effect in 2017. icare (previously WorkCover NSW) will directly administer policy and billing for the NSW workers compensation scheme. Details since the original announcement have been sparse however we understand NSW businesses will be able to use either an online portal, icare Customer Support Centre or Service NSW to provide wage declarations, make premium related payments and related matters. Many businesses are concerned with the service they will receive following the change, however we see these changes as exciting. At ABILITY GROUP will continue to actively support our clients and brokers with personalise and responsive service.
