The Insurance Premiums Order 2006 - 2007 was published in Government Gazette, Special Supplement No 70 of 26 May 2006.

The Order also gives effect to a 10% reduction in all 536 WorkCover Industry Classification rates.

This rate reduction means that the average premium rate in New South Wales is now 2.17 per cent. Prior to 31 December 2005, the average workers compensation premium rate was 2.57 per cent of wages. Reforms to the workers compensation premium system, along with sustained improvement in the Scheme's financial performance, have played a major part in reducing the average premium rate.

The reforms have included a range of improvements including two premium rate reductions, a fairer premium calculation formula and increased protection for small employers from premium increases. The improvements aim to to create a premium system that more fairly distributes costs among employers while providing incentives to improve safety and injury management.

The Workers Compensation Amendment (Premiums) Regulation 2006 and the IPO Amendment Order 2006 were published on 29 June 2006 and allow for the introduction of new grouping arrangements and contributions by certain employers to the Mine Safety Fund. The Amendment Order also contains the correct premium rate for WorkCover Industry Classification 292100 - Wooden Furniture and Upholstered Seat Mfg, as well as the maximum excess payable for 2006/2007.
