The State Insurance Regulation Association (SIRA) (formerly WorkCover NSW) have recently issued this updated guide to provide pro-active information to injured workers.

The guide includes:

• Things you and your employer must do under NSW workers compensation law
• Advice on RTW (the longer you stay off work, the higher the likelihood of not returning to work)
• Insurance claims process
• The roles of all people incolved in the process (insurers, rehabilitation providers, doctors, and employers)

What's been updated?:

• Changes include updating prescribed medical tests and results relating to brucellosis, Q fever, and leptospirosis to reflect the latest definitions from the NSW Control Guidelines for Public Health Units
• Alignment with reforms to workers compensation and legal profession legislation
• Removal of unnecessary clauses
• Updated references to other legislative instruments
• Clarification of the wording of clauses where there was previously unclear interpretation
