On 9 August 2019, Victor Dominello, NSW Minister for Customer
Service announced that the Government would establish a
'one-stop-shop' for disputes involving workers compensation
and CTP claims in NSW. The announcement is in response to the NSW
Parliament Law and Justice Committee's 2018 reviews of the NSW
Workers Compensation and CTP Schemes which recommended that a
single personal injury tribunal be established to resolve disputes
in the workers compensation and CTP schemes. It recommended that
the proposed tribunal 'be independent and judicial, with
statutorily appointed presiding officers, a judicial appeal
mechanism and access to justice and legal representation for
claimants,' and that it should be transparent and support
publication of its decisions.
