In this edition, there are updates on the continued rollout of our single digital platform and the Commission’s approach to interlocutory appeals in workers compensation matters.

I am encouraging legal practitioners to be aware of the Commission’s updated decision publication policy and would also like to remind all our tribunal users to be mindful of cyber security.

In recent months, the Commission has held a number of key events with our medical assessors, mediators, members and merit reviewers. Each of these events was a great success and I’d like to extend a big thank you to all our guest speakers and attendees.

Finally, a reminder that the Commission will close for two weeks over the Christmas and New Year period.

Separately, I spoke at the New South Wales Self Insurers Association Annual General Meeting last month. It was a fantastic opportunity to provide an update on the Commission’s operations, the deployment of Pathway, cyber security, upcoming rules changes and drafting grounds of appeal. You can read my speech on the Commission’s website.

Regards,

Judge Gerard Phillips
President
