Keep up to date with the latest news edition issued by the Personal Injury Commission

In this edition I am incredibly pleased to announce that Sessional Member Richard Perrignon has been appointed as Principal Member and Division Head, Police Officer Support Scheme Division. In addition, General Member Susan McTegg has been appointed as Senior Member to the Commission’s three divisions.

Please join me in congratulating Richard and Sue on these important and well-deserved appointments, which commence on 4 August 2025. I look forward to continuing to work with you both on delivering timely, fair, consistent, and high-quality justice for the injured people of NSW.

Josephine Bamber will retire as Principal Member and Acting Division Head of the Police Officer Support Scheme Division on 1 August 2025. I would like to thank Jo for her hard work and contributions over many years, and I am grateful she will remain with the Commission as a Sessional Member.

I am sure many of you will be aware of the Industrial Relations and Other Legislation Amendment (Workplace Protections) Bill 2025 that recently passed both houses of Parliament on 25 June 2025. This Bill proposes significant changes to the industrial relations and workplace health and safety laws in New South Wales (NSW) including a “stop bullying at work” and sexual harassment in connection with work jurisdiction in the Industrial Relations Commission of NSW, on a date yet to be proclaimed. While it currently seems that these changes won’t have a direct impact on proceedings in the Commission, we continue to closely monitor the reform landscape and ensure we are prepared to act responsively and adaptively to areas of legislative responsibility in the Commission’s remit.

Please read on for updates and reminders from the Personal Injury Commission.

Regards,

Judge Gerard Phillips
President
