What the release reports
Insurer designation and approved-policy processing under WICA 2019 move from September 2020 to January 2021 because pandemic arrangements delayed preparation.
Details and conditions
Other WICA changes still start in September. Existing compliant policies begun before January remain valid until expiry or end-2021, whichever is earlier.
Context and follow-up
Policies starting from January require designated insurers. The source annex separates insurer regulation from other amendments; postponing insurer procedures does not postpone employee protection or employer insurance responsibilities.
