WorkCover WA sets rates and fees for the most commonly used medical services. If you’re providing a medical or rehabilitation service and you cannot find a code for the service you have provided, you may wish to refer to the Australian Medical Association’s list of fees and services or the Medicare Benefits Schedule. These fees are usually acceptable to an insurer, but make sure you include a clear description of the service on your invoice. More information about fees and codes is at www.workcover.wa.gov.au/health-providers/applying-fees-and-codes/ ... See MoreSee Less

If you are an employer you are legally required to hold workers’ compensation insurance. Unlike other types of insurance, workers’ compensation insurance does not automatically renew. This is because the premium you pay is based on the total remuneration you will pay to your workers during the 12 month policy period and this amount changes from period to period. You should make a note in your calendar and follow-up with your insurer or broker if you have not received your policy renewal a month before it is due to expire. More information about understanding your insurance policy is available at www.workcover.wa.gov.au/employers/getting-an-insurance-policy/583-2/ ... See MoreSee Less
