How to use this archive

An archive page groups articles; it does not decide which law or review process applies to your claim. Start with the closest article, then compare it with the actual insurer notice, medical evidence, wage records and any Personal Injury Commission documents. Time limits and pathways depend on the decision and claim history. If no article matches the document you received, use the disputes hub to identify whether the issue concerns liability, capacity, payment, treatment or impairment.

Articles on this page

This page brings together guidance on Baltaji v TAFE NSW [2026] NSWPIC 420: secondary psychological injury and section 65A; Cayir v Coles [2026] NSWPIC 417: WPI assessment for a damages threshold; Walton v State of NSW [2026] NSWSC 824: section 323 WPI deduction; Workers compensation workplace conduct proceedings in NSW. Read the article that matches the document, injury or dispute you are dealing with, then compare its explanation with the actual dates, medical evidence and insurer correspondence in your claim.

Case notes explain why a court or the Personal Injury Commission reached a particular result; they do not predict the outcome of another claim. Practical guides identify the evidence and procedural issue to check, but the applicable rule may depend on the injury date, claim history and decision under review.
