In past years, WorkCover WA has issued a range of Bulletins for insurers and self-insurers, to provide information about WorkCover administrative requirements and to clarify legislative matters.

WorkCover WA has recently finalised a review, giving consideration to the currency, relevance and clarity of the Bulletins. The review resulted in a significant reduction in the number of Bulletins required, after the removal of outdated information and content that was no longer relevant as a result of legislative or policy changes.

The topics that remain relevant to stakeholders have been detailed in 11 new Bulletins, which will be issued via the WorkCover WA website from 8 April 2011. All Bulletins issued prior to this date will be rescinded and will no longer be valid.

"I’m delighted the review process has led to a smaller and clearer set of Bulletins" said Tim Roach, General Manager Regulatory Services.

"I expect the re-issued Bulletins will be welcomed for the certainty they provide participants in the Western Australian workers’ compensation industry"

"I thank all those who contributed to our review process and I encourage your continued engagement with us. Your ongoing feedback is essential to helping us improve the information we provide."

Future Bulletins will be issued via the WorkCover WA website and posted to the Latest News. If you would like to subscribe to news specifically regarding the Bulletins, please email bulletins@workcover.wa.gov.au.
