About the Role

This role gathers, assesses, and then inputs relevant data into the claims system, and communicates benefit information to internal customers once the rate has been determined.

The BAC achieves this by working closely with internal and external customers, including Caseworkers, Employers, and Injured Workers to ensure the appropriate information is considered, in accordance with the Act, Policy and Procedures so that rates are determined correctly.
The BAC is responsible for keeping clear, accurate and up to date documentation for each calculation performed. The BAC communicates with internal colleagues to explain how the calculated benefit was determined and where appropriate and necessary to Employers and Injured Workers as well. When required, the BAC prepares a written decision in an appeal process.
