Why we need your voice

The NSW workers’ compensation scheme is broken, with a $3.6 billion deficit and losing $5 million every day. Since 2021–22, psychological injury claims have surged by 65%, yet too many stem from workplace disputes rather than genuine injuries.

What’s at stake

• Rising premiums: Premiums are rising sharply, squeezing employers and threatening jobs. 
• Questionable claims: Claims that aren't genuine divert resources from workers who really need it.
• Higher costs: Every claim drives premiums up, increasing costs for everyone.
• System flaws: The current system encourages disputes, instead of focusing on helping injured workers back to work.

The solution

We back fair compensation and proper care for injured workers – but only if the system is focused on genuine injury claims.

That means:

1. Tightening eligibility to stop misuse of psychological injury provisions.
2. Speeding up assessments so genuine claimants get the support they need.
3. Aligning with best-practice tests (“would a reasonable person consider this a reasonable action?”) rather than purely perception-based claims.

Lisa Smith from Biala Support Services has seen her workers’ comp premium rise by $180,000 in the past year. She’s already signed our petition calling for change. Watch her video and add your voice by signing too.
