Workers Compensation Commission

From 1 January 2002, the new Workers Compensation Commission will determine disputes on worker's compensation claims (where the claim was made on or after 1 January 2002) and deal with some other matters.

The Commission aims to provide a fair and flexible dispute resolution process that ensures workers entitlements are paid promptly so that injured workers can resume their normal lives with less impact on their long-term health.

The Workers Compensation Commission will replace the Workers Compensation Resolution Service (WCRS). The Compensation Court will continue to deal with disputes in relation to claims made prior to 1 January 2002.
