Proactive Case Closure of 1993 and 2003 Scheme cases began on 30 June 2014. As at June 2014, 14% of cases with a current liability were non-compliant i.e. paying nothing.

The Department records statistics on the compliance status of 1993/2003 Scheme cases and publishes these in the Quarterly Summary of Statistics.
