NSW Police Workers Compensation Lawyers FAQs

Police officers and members of the NSW Police Force have employee injury rights available to them under NSW Workers Compensation Legislation. Employees of the NSW police force can claim compensation for any injury sustained during the course of their employment.

If you are a police officer or member of the force and have any questions about how the NSW Workers Compensation Act may affect you, contact a legal professional at Burke Mead Lawyers.

Injured police officers can claim a variety of physical and psychological injuries. Some of the more common injury claims include:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Injuries related to assault
  • Car accidents on the job

The State Insurance Regulatory Authority, also known as SIRA, is the NSW Government agency responsible for regulating the NSW workers compensation system. There are three types of insurers in the NSW workers compensation system:

  • icare
  • self-insurers
  • specialised insurers

Income protection payments are personally owned and funded income protection and generally considered compensation, except when:

  • the payments are not reduced by any amount of Centrelink payment being received.
  • income protection benefits are from superannuation.

A claim can take a considerable amount of time to resolve and depends on a myriad of factors, such as the complexity of the incident, the nature of the injury sustained, and what future treatment expenses may be needed, among others. The more complex or involved the case, the longer it can take. However, in most cases, the dispute is finalised within two years of engaging a legal professional.
