WorkCover WA is upgrading premium rating industry classifications published in annual gazettes of recommended premium rates. The classification codes are adapted from the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) 2006 edition used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and other jurisdictions.
The new industry premium rates classification will come into effect for policies commencing 4pm on 30 June 2018.
