Changes to the NSW Home Building Compensation (HBC) scheme commence today that will enable private insurers to enter the market and improve protections for homeowners against incomplete and defective work

Regulations and guidelines are available to support the new Home Building Compensation Scheme when it commences on 1 January 2018.

Today marks the start of the new CTP Green Slip Scheme, which will deliver significant premium reductions, refunds to around 4.2 million vehicle owners and greater protections for injured road users.

A first time offender pleaded guilty to defrauding the workers compensation system of $70,475.21 of which she obtained $38,995.98 herself.

Prices for the new, lower cost CTP Green Slip scheme went live today, with a brand new price comparison website launched to help drivers find the best deal.

A new strategy will help make it easier for small businesses to meet their work health and safety (WHS) and workers compensation obligations, and get on with running their business.

In October 2016 the NSW Healthcare Complaints Commission (HCC) found that Mr David Kaye was providing counselling services at the Sydney Trauma Clinic when he had no formal qualifications in psychology or counselling.

The vast majority of NSW motorists will receive a CTP Green Slip refund next year as part of the NSW Government’s reforms that make the scheme fairer and more affordable.

SIRA recently prosecuted a man who pleaded guilty to defrauding the workers compensation system on two occasions, lodging a false claim himself and assisting in the lodgement of a second.

The State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) is encouraging tradespeople, homeowners and industry representatives to have their say on proposed standards and guidelines for the new home building compensation scheme in NSW.
