The release is a Comcare claims dataset, titled as a Section 17 document, covering claims lodged by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) from 2020-21 to 5 November 2025. Total claims lodged rose from 32 in 2020-21 to a peak of 48 in 2024-25, with 18 in 2025-26 to date. Of the 2020-21 cohort, 15 were accepted and 8 rejected; the 2024-25 cohort included 19 accepted and 12 rejected, with 9 undetermined. Most claims involved mental stress, with work pressure and work-related harassment or bullying the leading mechanisms. Bullying and harassment claims accounted for the largest time lost (830.5 weeks in 2020-21), and median time to determination for these fell from 75 days to 27.5 days by 2024-25. Tables break claims down by nature of injury, body location and agency of injury. Small counts are suppressed as "<5". The excerpt does not show any access decision or exemptions.
