We’re pleased to welcome Andrew Douglas back for his first Friday Workplace Briefing of the year, joined this week by Monnette Samo.

The landscape of psychological injury claims within Australia’s workers’ compensation schemes is undergoing significant change. With NSW’s new Psychological Claims amendment now passed through Parliament — and other jurisdictions actively seeking to reduce the number of successful psychological claims — employers, insurers, and advisors must be prepared for a shifting regulatory environment.

These developments signal a broader national trend toward reform, tighter thresholds, and increased scrutiny of workplace psychological injury claims. Understanding what has changed — and what may change next — is critical for managing risk, compliance, and workforce wellbeing effectively.
