This guide helps self-insurers and auditors to understand, plan and prepare for the audit. This version (v30) is for the 2023/24 financial year.

All self-insurers need to complete a self-audit annually. To make it as straightforward as possible, we've gathered together all the information you need into two documents. This document (Part I), which covers Occupational health and safety management system requirements, and Part I – Claims management, obligations of employers and other requirements.

We've included templates to plan and undertake the audit and report on the audit findings in the Appendices.

You can request an exemption from all or part of the self-audit program under certain circumstances. These are outlined in first part of the document.
