IRO Sydney Seminar 2022 | Wrap Up

Our 2022 Sydney Seminar was held in mid June with more than 200 people attending in person and almost 600 logging on for the live-streamed event.

It is the tenth event since the Office's inception in 2012 and the second hosted at UTS Aerial and simultaneously live-streamed.

The seminar focused on the two trends that have stood out in statutory personal injury claims in 2022: the increase in psychological injury claims and the impact of COVID-19.

The seminar zeroed in on the practical impacts of these ‘mega-trends’ on personal injury claims and addressed:

  • how the personal injury system has responded to COVID-19 to date, what are the emerging issues and what are the learnings?
  • how increased mental health issues in the community have been reflected in increased psychological injuries in the personal injury system – and what this means in the short and long term?

The seminar brought together experts and practitioners with a range of perspectives on these issues, and included a substantive law focus on psychological injuries.
