Workers' compensation guides

Sparke Helmore’s Statutory Lines Insurance team is pleased to provide a range of workers’ compensation guides for each Australian jurisdiction.

• The national guide presents the workers' compensation entitlements
• The updated list of statutory rates under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (Cth) (SRC Act), which came into effect on 1 July 2025
• We have also updated our permanent impairment and non-economic loss calculator for the 2025/2026 financial year to help you calculate entitlements under s 24 and s 27 of the SRC Act
• Finally, our guide to the entitlements specific to Western Australia provides detailed information and is available here in a printable pamphlet format

The guides are maintained in accordance with legislative updates, providing an easily accessible and user-friendly point of reference for our clients.
