(a) what is the cause of the debt; and (b) what action was taken to recover the debt?
(b) what action was taken to recover the debt?
(a) The two primary causes that give rise to the debts are: 1. Where employers fail to obtain compulsory insurance and a worker sustains a compensable injury, WorkCover is required by legislation to pay the worker their entitlements. The debt then arises when WorkCover exercises its statutory right to sue and recover from the employer, the amount of compensation paid to the worker. The above cause applies to the following employers: $ Peter and Darrylin Brain 80,689.62 Road Trains West Pty Ltd 135,309.07 David Nell 33,431.53 Kim Leslie O’Donnell & Russell Leslie Parker 64,279.06 Raymond Baker 16,244.77 BA & KL Carter 56,913.78 RC & LE Stoddard 55,127.07 Bole Consolidated Pty Ltd 17,705.60 Alpha Print Pty Ltd 36,469.20 Vasse Vineyards Pty Ltd 47,142.94 Heinz Webber 16,156.95 Kimberley James Powell & Tothena Pty Ltd 44,315.00 Murchison Air Service 99,516.19 Western Horizons Pty Ltd 13,395.45 Cliffside Enterprises Pty Ltd 69,413.31 M Micelli 28,753.53 Terry Cicerello’s Take Away 88,717.84 R & M Halford-Bailey 10,000.42 T Bird Pty Ltd 124,378.41 Lizada Pty Ltd 24,722.08 John Lyons 18,918.13 Sudden Pest Control Pty Ltd 174,029.21 2. Where workers suffer from an industrial disease that has a considerable latent period of time before it manifests itself e.g. Mesothelioma and Pneumoconiosis, the lapse of time often means that the employer and/or the Insurer cannot be identified because records have been lost, destroyed or cannot be found. In accordance with the legislation, WorkCover is still required to meet the worker’s entitlements but as the debt cannot be recovered, it is written off accordingly. This cause applies to the following employers: $ Ceiloyd Pty Ltd 12,870.75 M. Carrati & Midalco Pty Ltd 35,712.65 State Wide Investigations 97,991.30 Mulga Downs Pty Ltd 96,768.22 James McLarty (dec’d) and Son 97,509.26 Harrison Holdings Pty Ltd 30,688.00 Murchison Air Service 99,516.19 Tubemakers of Australia Ltd 35,265.05 (b) The course of action that WorkCover takes in the majority of cases is to refer each matter to the Crown Solicitors Office (CSO). Firstly, to prepare the legal documentation to obtain a judgement debt in the Court against the uninsured employer and secondly, to monitor the collection of the debt. The following matters were referred to CSO: Peter and Darrylin Brain 80,689.62 Road Trains West Pty Ltd 135,309.07 David Nell 33,431.53 Kim Leslie O’Donnell & Russell Leslie Parker 64,279.06 Raymond Baker 16,244.77 BA & KL Carter 56,913.78 RC & LE Stoddard 55,127.07 Bole Consolidated Pty Ltd 17,705.60 Alpha Print Pty Ltd 36,469.20 Vasse Vineyards Pty Ltd 47,142.94 Heinz Webber 16,156.95 Kimberley James Powell & Tothena Pty Ltd 44,315.00 Murchison Air Service 99,516.19 Western Horizons Pty Ltd 13,395.45 Cliffside Enterprises Pty Ltd 69,413.31 M Micelli 28,753.53 Terry Cicerello’s Take Away 88,717.84 R & M Halford-Bailey 10,000.42 T Bird Pty Ltd 124,378.41 Lizada Pty Ltd 24,722.08 John Lyons 18,918.13 Sudden Pest Control Pty Ltd 174,029.21 The exceptions to the above occurs when it has been clearly established, prior to CSO legal action, that the uninsured employer has either gone into liquidation, declared bankruptcy, or due to the passage of time the employer or the Insurer cannot be identified. In each of these cases WorkCover has no recourse to recovery and is forced to write the debts off. M.

(b) what action was taken to recover the debt?
(a) The two primary causes that give rise to the debts are: 1. Where employers fail to obtain compulsory insurance and a worker sustains a compensable injury, WorkCover is required by legislation to pay the worker their entitlements. The debt then arises when WorkCover exercises its statutory right to sue and recover from the employer, the amount of compensation paid to the worker. The above cause applies to the following employers: $ Peter and Darrylin Brain 80,689.62 Road Trains West Pty Ltd 135,309.07 David Nell 33,431.53 Kim Leslie O’Donnell & Russell Leslie Parker 64,279.06 Raymond Baker 16,244.77 BA & KL Carter 56,913.78 RC & LE Stoddard 55,127.07 Bole Consolidated Pty Ltd 17,705.60 Alpha Print Pty Ltd 36,469.20 Vasse Vineyards Pty Ltd 47,142.94 Heinz Webber 16,156.95 Kimberley James Powell & Tothena Pty Ltd 44,315.00 Murchison Air Service 99,516.19 Western Horizons Pty Ltd 13,395.45 Cliffside Enterprises Pty Ltd 69,413.31 M Micelli 28,753.53 Terry Cicerello’s Take Away 88,717.84 R & M Halford-Bailey 10,000.42 T Bird Pty Ltd 124,378.41 Lizada Pty Ltd 24,722.08 John Lyons 18,918.13 Sudden Pest Control Pty Ltd 174,029.21 2. Where workers suffer from an industrial disease that has a considerable latent period of time before it manifests itself e.g. Mesothelioma and Pneumoconiosis, the lapse of time often means that the employer and/or the Insurer cannot be identified because records have been lost, destroyed or cannot be found. In accordance with the legislation, WorkCover is still required to meet the worker’s entitlements but as the debt cannot be recovered, it is written off accordingly. This cause applies to the following employers: $ Ceiloyd Pty Ltd 12,870.75 M. Carrati & Midalco Pty Ltd 35,712.65 State Wide Investigations 97,991.30 Mulga Downs Pty Ltd 96,768.22 James McLarty (dec’d) and Son 97,509.26 Harrison Holdings Pty Ltd 30,688.00 Murchison Air Service 99,516.19 Tubemakers of Australia Ltd 35,265.05 (b) The course of action that WorkCover takes in the majority of cases is to refer each matter to the Crown Solicitors Office (CSO). Firstly, to prepare the legal documentation to obtain a judgement debt in the Court against the uninsured employer and secondly, to monitor the collection of the debt. The following matters were referred to CSO: Peter and Darrylin Brain 80,689.62 Road Trains West Pty Ltd 135,309.07 David Nell 33,431.53 Kim Leslie O’Donnell & Russell Leslie Parker 64,279.06 Raymond Baker 16,244.77 BA & KL Carter 56,913.78 RC & LE Stoddard 55,127.07 Bole Consolidated Pty Ltd 17,705.60 Alpha Print Pty Ltd 36,469.20 Vasse Vineyards Pty Ltd 47,142.94 Heinz Webber 16,156.95 Kimberley James Powell & Tothena Pty Ltd 44,315.00 Murchison Air Service 99,516.19 Western Horizons Pty Ltd 13,395.45 Cliffside Enterprises Pty Ltd 69,413.31 M Micelli 28,753.53 Terry Cicerello’s Take Away 88,717.84 R & M Halford-Bailey 10,000.42 T Bird Pty Ltd 124,378.41 Lizada Pty Ltd 24,722.08 John Lyons 18,918.13 Sudden Pest Control Pty Ltd 174,029.21 The exceptions to the above occurs when it has been clearly established, prior to CSO legal action, that the uninsured employer has either gone into liquidation, declared bankruptcy, or due to the passage of time the employer or the Insurer cannot be identified.

WORKCOVER WA
(a) The two primary causes that give rise to the debts are:
1. Where employers fail to obtain compulsory insurance and a worker sustains a compensable injury, WorkCover is required by legislation to pay the worker their entitlements.
The debt then arises when WorkCover exercises its statutory right to sue and recover from the employer, the amount of compensation paid to the worker.
The above cause applies to the following employers:
$
Peter and Darrylin Brain 80,689.62
Road Trains West Pty Ltd 135,309.07

Lizada Pty Ltd 24,722.08

Sudden Pest Control Pty Ltd 174,029.21
2. Where workers suffer from an industrial disease that has a considerable latent period of time before it manifests itself e.g. Mesothelioma and Pneumoconiosis, the lapse of time often means that the employer and/or the Insurer cannot be identified because records have been lost, destroyed or cannot be found.
In accordance with the legislation, WorkCover is still required to meet the worker’s entitlements but as the debt cannot be recovered, it is written off accordingly.
This cause applies to the following employers:
