WorkCover classifies workers compensation injuries and/or diseases for the National Data Set from the information provided by the Self Insured Employer via Fourth Schedule Reporting.
Once a claim has been created at WorkCover, it is then coded using the Type of Occurrence Classification System (version 3), and the Australian Standard of Occupations (version 2). Any claims containing insufficient information for coding purposes are sent back to the Self Insured Employer by the Statistical Coder on a monthly basis with a request for additional information.
The classifications of these claims is the basis for the comparisons available in the Exempt Employer Reporting Tool.
For a comprehensive list of data included in the Type Of Occurrence Classification System (version 3) visit the ASCC website.
