Background
From 01 July 2010 Q-COMP will be changing our use of WorkCover
Industry Codes (WIC) from ANZSIC 1993 to ANZSIC 2006. WIC codes are
maintained by WorkCover and are used to set premium rates.
Under each self-insurance licence, WIC codes are assigned to each
employer under licence. Self-insured employers use WIC codes to
allocate claims against employers under their self-insurer
licence.
This information is reported to us through monthly data submission
as field 4.2.22 - WorkCover Industry Code (WIC Code) and 4.2.23 -
Workplace Industry Description (WIC Description).
What changes will occur?
The introduction of ANZSIC 2006 based WIC codes will impact
self-insured employers in the following areas:
- Claims with a date of injury from 01 July 2010 will be required
to be coded with an ANZSIC 2006 based WIC.
- Claims with a date of injury prior to 01 July 2010 will be
required to be coded with the ANZSIC 1993 based WIC.
- ANZSIC 2006 based WIC codes will apply to each employer under
their self-insurance licence and will be effective for 2010/11 wage
declaration year.
Claim coding implications and our data submission
reporting
Claims received with the date of injury from 01 July 2010 will
require the coding of an ANZSIC 2006 based WIC code. Claims with a
date of injury prior to 01 July 2010 will need to be coded with an
ANZSIC 1993 based WIC code. This information is reported by
self-insurers to us through monthly data submissions as described
in the background.
Where possible, we have allocated to the existing ANZSIC 1993 WIC,
the 'best fit' based on the WIC description of the new ANZSIC 2006
WIC. However, in some cases ANZSIC 2006 WIC's provide a 'one to
many' or 'many to one' relationship.
Your Insurer Advisor will contact you about any changes that will
affect you.
Next Steps
WorkCover QLD have not yet finalised the WIC code listing and there
may be some changes to the WIC code/s provided above. You will be
advised as soon as possible should there be any change to the
information.
It is encouraged that self-insured employers discuss with their
system providers whether there are any implications from separating
the coding by date of injury.
Please note that regardless if any further changes to the ANZSIC
2006 WIC's are made, there is still a requirement by self-insured
employers to allocate the different codes to 30 June 2010 and from
01 July 2010.
