In 2022, NSW SIRA has been consulting with stakeholders about its plans to reform NSW state compensation schemes to improve:
- Measuring health outcomes and data quality
- Embedding evidence-based clinical practice to maximise recovery
- Streamlining administration and reducing payments leakage
- Providing education, advocacy and knowledge about value-based healthcare across all scheme participants.
While supporting early intervention for optimal return to work outcomes, Osteopathy Australia's response to the NSW SIRA's new standard for Return to Work - Early Intervention (consultation draft, December 2021) raised some questions about the value of the draft new standard.
