Workers' Compensation at ANU

Self-Insurance

The ANU is a self-insured licensee under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act), having been granted a licence for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2026.

How are workers’ compensation claims managed?

The University has engaged Comcare to undertake claims management and other specialised services.  Comcare Claims Managers are co-located at the University within the Safety and Wellbeing Team and are dedicated to providing accurate and timely determinations in response to claims made.

Where can I obtain assistance?

The Injury Management Team within Safety and Wellbeing are available to provide advice and assistance in the event that you need to make a claim.

If you have an existing claim, or a general enquiry, you can contact the Claims Management Team directly.

Comcare has a suite of animated videos for employers, supervisors and employees on recovery and return to work.  You can access these videos here:

Licence extension

In November 2025, the University applied for an extension to our self-insurance licence under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (SRC) Act. In March 2026, the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission (SRCC) approved a 4-year licence extension to 30 June 2030.

There is no change to current workers' compensation arrangements, and no change to employee rights and obligations should they be injured at work.
