The public liability dilemma facing the aged care sector

Who is this report for?

Aged care providers, including host employers and labour-hire companies.

The issue:

Aged care providers’ public liability insurance policies are increasingly at risk from financial
recovery by workers’ compensation insurers nationwide. Recovery claims are being made
against providers with a particular inter-entity structure that creates a loophole for such claims to be allowed.

Recovery claims are also being made against providers as host employers of injured
labour-hire staff.

Key takeaways from the report:

  • A detailed explanation of workers' compensation recovery claims.

  • Lockton has observed claims being made against host employers of injured labour-hire staff.

  • Details on the host-employer and inter-entity liability.

  • Recommendations for aged care providers to reduce their risk.
