icare Workers Insurance performance data

We're committed to regularly publishing a range of data in relation to workers compensation in NSW to provide accountability and transparency into the performance of the management of claims in the scheme. Helping workers return to work as soon as possible after an injury is extremely important medically, socially and financially. As such, one of our key priorities is focusing on improving return to work (RTW) rates for those injured at work.

You can find a description of the terms used in the graphs below in our glossary.

Return to work (RTW)

For the RTW rate, this is the percentage of workers who have been off work for at least one day and returned to work with the same or different employer at full or current work capacity.

Satisfaction Score (CSAT)

icare measures the Satisfaction of injured workers and employers throughout their journey with icare with a Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score.
