Psychiatric Impairment Assessment Guidelines

In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14 November 2019).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been provided the following advice:

1. 45 impairment assessments for psychiatric injury have been undertaken in the registered scheme since 1 July 2015. 36 of those people assessed have not reached the 30 per cent whole person impairment threshold and nine have. Two assessments found that the individual's condition had not reached maximum medical improvement.

2. Of the 36 assessments that did not reach the 30 per cent threshold, 10 were between 25-29 per cent.
