NSW: Thousands of workers' compo claims lost
SYDNEY, April 26 AAP - A computer glitch has lost thousands of files on NSW workers'
compensation cases.
WorkCover lost the files in the information technology collapse on March 27, The Sydney
Morning Herald reported today.
The body said no cases currently before the Workers Compensation Commission were affected.
But in some cases up to 40 per cent of archival material had been lost or irretrievably
corrupted, a source within WorkCover told the papers.
NSW Commerce Minister John Della Bosca said WorkCover would be asked to review its
processes and make sure back-ups were kept in future.
The body investigates 13,000 cases a year.
