Executive finding

SIRA’s public report displays 455 metric rows across seven periods. WIA captured every displayed cell and independently reconciled every public numeric result to the underlying Power BI model. The model also exposed values behind some displayed suppression symbols. WIA therefore used the visible report as the binding publication mask: exact model precision was used only where SIRA displayed a number.

Scope

The current report contains five quarters from 2025-Q1 to 2026-Q1 and two rolling annual periods ending March 2025 and March 2026. WIA publishes the Nominal Insurer, specialised insurer and self-insurer groups. System and Treasury Managed Fund records are excluded from WIA’s charts and integrated JSON/CSV. Their displayed source cells remain only in the downloadable XLSX audit sheet, clearly marked as outside the WIA comparison scope.

Public source reconciliation

Every visible cell accounted for.

The matrix reconciles the complete visual report. Numeric values are limited to results SIRA displayed. Symbols and blanks are retained as source text and are never converted into estimates or zeros.

Marker meanings

How WIA retains each SIRA display marker
MarkerTreatment
*Fewer than 10 claims counted in the period; the count is suppressed.
^Insufficient data or fewer than 10 claims in the relevant metric cohort; the rate is suppressed.
-Zero claims or claims excluded in that period.
BlankNo current SIRA definition is published. WIA retains the blank and does not treat it as zero.

Source precision check

All 2,800 displayed numeric cells reproduce from the model: 604 injury counts, 550 claim counts, 546 RTW rates, 550 SAW rates and 550 WR rates. Rate checks used RTW = returned-to-work count / time-lost count, SAW = stayed-at-work count / all claims, and WR = working claims / all claims. No ratio mismatch exceeded 1e-12.

Hidden model audit

What was technically extractable.

The public Power BI semantic model included exact source fields used to calculate the displayed results. Those fields were technically retrievable even where the visual replaced a result with a suppression symbol. This is a suppression-control finding, not permission to republish the hidden values.

Versioning and provenance

Current results, retained history.

The 19 August 2026 source is a refreshed dataset, not merely a new reporting period. WIA uses the new vintage for repeated periods and keeps the older archive so former and reclassified insurers remain available in the periods where SIRA published them. That includes DXC and Catholic Church Insurance in historical views.

Interpretation limits

Recovery-through-work results describe one 13-week outcome measure. Portfolio size, industry and injury mix, suitable-work opportunities, claims practices and external conditions differ. Suppressed or unavailable results are excluded from rankings rather than treated as zero. Historical values can change when SIRA republishes revised data.
