Workers compensation NSW provides support to people who have a work-related illness or injury. The support provided by workers compensation may include assistance with recovery and returning to work, alongside several other benefits. The State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) is the NSW Government agency which is responsible for the workers compensation system within NSW.
