68 Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Annual Report 2007 Acknowledging Our People Claims Frequency This is a measure of the number of occurrences of standard claims in the period, which is derived by dividing the number of standard claims by Peter Mac’s remuneration (basically remuneration and superannuation) and/or total productive hours worked. Performance is measured against a baseline year (refer below). The following table shows an increase in Peter Mac’s WorkCover standard claims performance and this increase is reﬂ ected in the frequency rates:

2006–07 2005–06 2004–05 Number of standard claims 21 10 15 Key performance indicators: 1. Claims frequency (per million 0.21 0.1029 0.161 dollars remuneration) 2. Claims frequency (per million 9.17 4.208 7.1 hours worked)

Average Time Lost Rate Even though there has been an increase in Peter Mac’s frequency rates (refer above), Peter Mac continues to experience a reduction in WorkCover Premium. This reduction is a result of efﬁ cient and effective management of return to work and rehabilitation programs. The management of these programs is reﬂ ected in the Average Time Lost Rate (ATLR). The ATLR is the average time lost (days) per occurrence of injury/disease. ATLR is measured as weekly compensation and is used in the calculation of WorkCover Premium. Peter Mac’s ATLR has reduced by an average of 25 per cent consecutively from 2004–05 to 2006–07 (refer below):
