NSW has finally enacted significant NSW Workers Compensation Reforms, the most notable in over a decade, with the Workers Compensation Legislation Amendment Bill 2025, which received Royal Assent on 24 November 2025. These reforms introduce tighter definitions and objective tests for psychological injuries, including bullying, excessive work demands, racial and sexual harassment, and establish a clear framework distinguishing between primary and secondary psychological injuries. The reforms also streamline Whole Person Impairment (WPI) assessments to a single principal assessment by an approved medical expert, replacing dual assessments.
Fresh insights from Safe Work Australia’s Key Work Health and Safety Statistics 2025 report reveal that just a third of jobs account for more than half of all serious injury claims across the country. This alarming trend underscores the need for targeted safety interventions, especially in high-risk sectors, and presents a crucial opportunity for organisations like ABILITY GROUP to continue to lead the way in helping businesses create safer workplaces.
