US Edition‘Not obstructionist’: Coalition to propose amendments to Labor’s controversial workers comp reform
- The NSW Coalition will propose amendments to the Minns Labor government's workers compensation reform bill in 2025, opposing key aspects in parliament.
- The bill followed criticism for being rushed and inadequately supporting injured workers, with controversy over raising psychological injury claim thresholds.
- The reforms, including a new 30% Whole Person Impairment threshold, reduce eligibility for long-term psychological injury support amid rising claim rates and falling return-to-work rates.
- Opposition Leader Mark Speakman emphasized the need for a workers' compensation system that is viable over the long term, equitable for employees and employers alike, and does not unfairly disadvantage those with the most serious injuries.
- The Coalition’s proposed amendments aim to improve fairness and sustainability, foreshadowing a parliamentary showdown and possible inquiry if not addressed satisfactorily.
