Who needs a workers compensation insurance policy?
Any business in the ACT that employs workers under a 'contract of service', or in certain circumstances a 'contract for service' is required to take out Workers Compensation insurance.
A 'contract of service' exists where an employer directly engages a worker in employment. A 'contract for service' exists where an individual works on a regular and systematic basis for a principal.
A contract can be express or implied, made either orally or in writing and applies to full time, part time and casual workers.
