Please note that ACC does not calculate ROI in the manner you have requested. The ROI is based on
whole-of-life (lifetime) cost estimates. Programmes typically incur establishment and start-up costs,
meaning that calculating ROI based on a single year of results would misrepresent programme
performance. For example, some claim-savings relate to investments made and completed several
years earlier, with benefits emerging in FY24 and FY25.
Noting this, we are refusing the specific breakdown you have requested as the information is not held.
This decision is made under section 18(g) of the Act.
