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.

Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)

The Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) is a globally-recognised metric used by organisations to understand the sentiment of their customers. It's one of our key metrics we use to measure injured workers' and employers' experience with us. It helps us and our business partners to understand and be accountable for how we engage with those we serve.
