WorkCover was the NSW Government entity providing workers compensation insurance to employers and employees. WorkCover was replaced by three different entities in September 2015. These are:
SafeWork NSW: They’re responsible for regulating and improving workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements, licensing and registration where needed. SafeWork NSW is also in charge of investigating workplace incidents and enforcing the WHS state laws.
SIRA: The State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) is responsible for regulating compulsory third party (CTP) motor accidents, workers compensation insurance and the NSW home building compensation fund.
icare: Under the NSW workers compensation scheme, Insurance & Care NSW – or icare – provides insurance and care services to most people injured at work in New South Wales.
