Commencement of the new Police Officer Support Scheme from 1 October 2024
Last week the Police Amendment (Police Officer Support Scheme) Act 2024 passed through both Houses of the New South Wales Parliament.
Last week the Police Amendment (Police Officer Support Scheme) Act 2024 passed through both Houses of the New South Wales Parliament. It creates a new support scheme for police from 1 October 2024, replacing the existing Police Blue Ribbon Insurance Scheme. The dispute resolution function of the scheme is conferred on a new division of the Personal Injury Commission.
We have recommended that a Division Head be appointed to the new division and will soon commence a review of our rules and procedures. We are also looking at making a number of dual appointments to the new division. All police scheme matters will be listed before a dual member in accordance with how matters are dealt with in the Workers Compensation Division. We will also examine our internal procedures to ensure a streamlined process for related workers compensation and police officer support scheme matters to ensure they are dealt with by the same member at the same time.
An amended Form 2 (Application to Resolve a Dispute) is now available on our website to download and complete in relation to disputes under the new scheme. The form can be lodged by emailing [email protected].
The Commission will continue to provide updates as this work progresses.
