During 3 to 24 October 2017 the Department of Employment undertook targeted confidential consultation on proposed amendments to the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988.
The proposed reforms are aimed at improving early intervention and rehabilitation, the effectiveness of claims management and dispute resolution and the quality of medical treatment and household and attendant care.
A Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) was prepared by the Department of Employment for the consultation. The RIS has been certified by the Department and was subject to an early assessment by the OBPR.
