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.

When required, the BAC prepares a written decision in an appeal process.
