Registered Independent Agents

Registered Independent Agents approved under the Workers Compensation’ and Injury Management Act 1981 (former Act) can provide parties to a disputed claim with representation when resolving a dispute via conciliation or arbitration.

The scheme for registration of all Registered Independent Agents ceases under the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023 (the Act). From 1 July 2024, existing Registered Independent Agents enter a two-year transitional period which will cease after 30 June 2026.

During the transitional period, Registered Independent Agents are subject to prescribed requirements and conditions. These are outlined in our Registered Independent Agents Fact Sheet.

Registered Independent Agents - Information for clients

Templates have been devised to assist Registered Independent Agents to provide information to clients and record activities as required by the legislation. Registered Independent Agents are expected to provide the fact sheet ‘Registered Independent Agent: Information for Clients’ and the ‘Client Acknowledgement of Costs’ to each client.
