Eligible national employers in both the private and public sectors can obtain a licence to self-insure their workers' compensation liabilities under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988
(SRC Act). These include employers from industries as diverse as banking, transport, healthcare, construction, insurance, telecommunications and education, representing over half of all employees covered under the SRC Act. Self insurance under the SRC Act provides these employers with a single, national approach to workers' compensation and injury management for all employees regardless of their location.
