The new rates will take effect from 30 June and, since 40% of policies are renewed in May and June, many Western Australian businesses will feel the benefit of the reduction immediately.
The WorkCover WA recommended rates are a strong guide to insurance companies in setting premiums and a useful tool for employers and their insurance brokers in negotiating the best deal.
