Previous reports should be used with caution as the number of claims is subject to review each year as more claims are accepted by the workers’ compensation authorities. There have also been some major changes in the way data has been reported by jurisdictions which have resulted in substantial changes to the number of serious claims recorded against each year. Time series information is available back to 2000–01 through our
Statistics Online database.
