Answer -

For the answer to Question 1, including 1a, please see attached table, please see the table of information provided by the Minister to the Legislative Council Procedure Office, which is available upon request.

icare's 2019/2020 financial year reports have yet to be finalised.

Please see attached table for information relating to IVE Group. The services provided by IVE Group Limited to icare and other relevant Authorities is managed under a 'legacy' contract that was transitioned to icare from Safety, Return to Work and Support under Section 3, Schedule 4, Part 2, Division 1 of the State Insurance and Care Governance Act 2015. This permitted icare, on its establishment, to transition current (at the time) contracts to icare and its relevant Authorities.

The contract with IVE Group Limited was maintained during icare's 'build' phase, which included the relocation of policy management and underwriting services from the managing Scheme agents to icare, where a significant increase in communications from icare was necessary. Transitioning this service in-house saved the Workers Compensation Nominal Insurer approximately $110 million in Scheme agent remuneration in the 2017/18 financial year.
