Injured workers could be charged a much-needed increase in compensation as the NSW workers compensation manager re-evaluates claims. “icare,” formerly WorkCover NSW, manages the compensation claims of workers across NSW and now encourages anyone injured between October 2012 and October 2019 to review their payments to ensure they are receiving all monies owed to them. In April, a parliamentary inquiry found that icare’s funding quota was well below needs and concluded that the board of directors had “completely failed” to run the organization adequately. The investigation came after months of scathing allegations of poor performance and resulted in CEO John Nagle and Chairman Michael Carapiet both resigning.

The urge to verify payment information comes after a recent review by icare over the past decade. The review found that at this point in time, the insurer was not always being provided with the earnings information to determine the weekly compensation payments, so the payments were lower than they should have been. Griffith, Leeton, and Carrathool have just over 2,000 residents who are eligible for an increase in payments. All were contacted and asked to reevaluate the payments. Across NSW, just over three million dollars were paid to recipients of weekly workers’ compensation. Slightly more than 8,500 applications have been reassessed, and more are expected. A spokesman for icare said: “icare was founded in 2015 … Three years earlier, a new law on calculating workers’ compensation payments had been introduced in NSW. Only after icare had implemented a new online claims management system, we were able to retrospectively assess how the weekly Unemployment benefit payments were calculated. ” “In some cases, this may have resulted in people being underpaid. As a result, the review and remediation program was designed and implemented.” Our journalists work hard to provide the community with local, breaking news.
