Information, training and resources to help NSW employers prepare for the significant changes to the workers compensation system expected to take effect in July 2026.
We are in the midst of the most significant changes to the NSW workers compensation system in over a decade.
The two Bills that have passed in the NSW Parliament will significantly change how primary psychological injury claims are defined and managed in NSW. As fewer psychological injuries will be compensable under the workers compensation scheme, it is more important than ever that NSW employers have sound processes and systems for preventing psychological injuries, and for supporting workers with mental health concerns.
We have been delivering award winning case management services in NSW since 1910 and in the last ten years have invested over $144M into services designed to create safer workplaces for all Australians. This is our field of expertise, and we’ve created this page to support NSW employers prepare their businesses for change.
Download our checklist and take a look below to find tools, resources and training which will help you address key impacts to your business.
