The current contracts for TMF claims management will expire at the end of the year.

The new contracts for Allianz, EML, and QBE will commence on Jan. 01 and include new performance measures, while GIO will start after the implementation of the icare technology platform.

“Through these appointments, icare has strengthened the alignment between return to work outcomes and remuneration to ensure it’s delivering a fairer and more consistent service and a sustainable scheme for injured workers and NSW government agencies,” icare said.
