📜 Police Amendment (Compensation Scheme) Bill 2025

Legislative Council Second ReadingLABill 4123 October 2025

This bill amends the Police Act 1892 to reform the compensation scheme for medically retired WA police officers. It aims to streamline the process for PTSD claims, clarifies compensable medical conditions, and prevents double compensation.

Impact

Medically retired police officers in WA will be affected by changes to the compensation scheme, potentially making it easier to claim for work-related conditions like PTSD. The WA Police Force will also be affected by the changes to the administration of the scheme.

Key Changes

["Establishes a rebuttable presumption that PTSD is work-related.", "Facilitates compensation for permanent impairment from non-accident medical conditions.", "Prevents compensation for psychological disorders resulting from reasonable administrative action."]
