3.2 Special Accounts

The University processes Comcare receipts and payments through a distinct location and account code combination in the ledger. The monies are not available for other purposes of the University.

From 1 July 2018, the University took on the responsibility to self-manage workers compensation (refer Note 2.2E) and no longer receives or pays Comcare monies.
