Total Annual Premium =

*Apply the levy rate that is effective for the period of performance (July 01, 2026, to June 30, 2027). Clearly specify both the applicable percentage (%) and corresponding monetary value within the pricing schedule. The Workers Compensation Act 1951 provides the framework around the calculation of the annual insurer contributions.

Questions and Answers

Q1. Please confirm whether administrative corrections to the pricing schedule may be annotated directly on the solicitation. For example, the Default Insurance Fund Levy is currently reflected as 2% and may require revision to 1.8%. Please advise whether the Government should note this change directly or if a revised pricing schedule should be reissued by the contractor.

Answer: For pricing purposes, the contractor shall apply the levy rate that is effective for the period of performance specified in the RFQ (July 01, 2026, to June 30, 2027) and clearly specify both the applicable percentage (%) and corresponding monetary value within the pricing schedule. The pricing grid has been updated to allow you to add the percentage.

Q2. Can you please share the employee census information for each covered employee.

Answer: Please note that the Request for Quotation (RFQ) pertains exclusively to the Australian Government mandated workers' compensation insurance for Locally Employed (LE) Staff in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), as governed by the Australian Workers Compensation Act

1951. Premiums should be calculated by insurers based on a combination of factors, including the employer's industry classification, total payroll, and historical claims data on the total wage estimate, with the requested information not being factored into the calculation. Please refer to Pricing Grid for wage estimate and Attachment A for the claim’s history.
