About Us

Inigma Group

Inigma Group is a boutique consulting firm established by Chris Harrington in 1998 with the sole purpose of guiding companies in the control of workers compensation claims and their costs. Coming from a corporate insurance broking background, Chris was concerned at the rapidly rising cost of workers compensation premiums due to excessive claim costs and the general acceptance that there was little that could be done. Chris set out to prove this to be incorrect. Over the years Inigma Group has been able to assist employers, from family businesses to not-for-profits to household name companies, save millions of dollars by taking control of a function previously viewed as a frustrating burden. Inigma Group does this by providing calm, systematic advice concentrating on management ownership and legal compliance.

What Our Clients Say

High Level Workers Compensation Control

I have seen enormous falls in both claims and premium costs as well as a more positive working environment, not to mention the removal of so many sources of frustration to management.

Dr John McNamara, General Family Practitioner, icare NSW Injury Management Consultant

His expertise in assisting the return to work of staff is unique. His network of doctors and his close relationship with insurers enables him to achieve results that no other consultant can do.

Warwick Ryan, Partner, Hicksons – Lawyers

The average claim cost has decreased by a staggering 90.96%. Other workers see that people aren’t getting away with ridiculous claims and genuine claims are treated professionally and effectively.

Suzanne Sayers, Manager Human Resources, Health Safety and Environment, John McGrath Auto Group – Motor Dealership.

We are now able to confidently follow our business plans without the distraction of cost escalations and interruption due to random workers compensation claim. We are also comforted by the fact that we are fully compliant with legislation.

Like Howard-Bath, Managing Director, Freezex Pty Ltd – Refrigerated Transport

The cost of allowing claims to escalate can be enormous and against this Chris has provided amazing value – on a fee to value ratio he is easily the best value professional we have ever worked with.

Ryan Shaw, Principal, Mandala Asset Solutions – Hotel Owners

Inigma Group Pty Ltd guides its clients in controlling workers compensation from where the problems start – claims. Particularly claims where the worker is, for whatever reason, reluctant to return to work.
