Keep up to date with the latest news edition issued by the Personal Injury Commission
For those following the progress of the Workers Compensation Legislation Amendment Bill 2025, you’ll be aware that the Legislative Council’s Public Accountability and Works Committee held a formal hearing on 17 June as part of its inquiry.
One of our Senior Medical Assessors, Dr. Doug Andrews, provided expert evidence at that hearing – explaining what psychiatrists do and how the scheme operates in the context of the Personal Injury Commission. It was a valuable contribution, and the Committee welcomed his input. I would remark that this appearance was with the Commission’s permission, and I thank Dr Andrews for his contribution to this important debate.
There are further hearings scheduled for July, with submissions due 22 July. The Committee will then continue its consideration, culminating in a report with possible amendments.
Once the Bill passes, we will turn our attention to what needs to be done to implement it: operations, changes to rules, procedural directions and so forth.
But until then, it’s very much business as usual at the Commission.
Finally, I would like to congratulate Deputy President Michael Snell on his reappointment through to 30 June 2030. I look forward to continuing our work together in the years ahead.
Read on for further updates and exciting Commission developments.
Regards,
Judge Gerard Phillips
President
