PIC News No. 80

Keep up to date with the latest news edition issued by the Personal Injury Commission

Last week, I issued a new Direction to all decision-makers concerning the adoption of the Guidelines for New South Wales Judges in Respect of Use of Generative AI. Decision-makers will be adhering to this Direction as the development of Commission-specific rules and procedural direction progresses.

I would like to remind all parties to proceedings and their representatives and agents that Procedural Directions are statutory instruments and must be complied with without exception.

In July 1926 the Workers' Compensation Act 1926 was passed by the NSW Parliament, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of workers’ rights. Unlike previous acts, the 1926 Act established a stand-alone tribunal – originally the Workers Compensation Commission, which now operates within the Personal Injury Commission – to hear and determine claims.

Next year we celebrate 100 years of the Commission’s operations, and a special committee has been formed to create a publication chronicling this centenary milestone.

We are calling for stories, materials and in particular photographs that could enrich this publication. If you have anything to contribute, please contact my office at [email protected].

Elsewhere in this edition, you will find additional Commission updates and reminders.

Regards,

Judge Gerard Phillips
President
