This service offers:
- a Worker Status Rulings Branch within WorkCover to provide specialised assistance to employers
- a private ruling service to determine whether a person (or class of people) is a worker for premium calculation purposes. Employers can apply to WorkCover to issue a private ruling.
A private ruling is a binding notice from WorkCover that states whether a person, or group of persons, are workers or contactors for the purpose of including wages for workers compensation premium calculations.
