About SIRA
This is an exciting opportunity to work for a customer‑centred, intelligence‑led, risk‑based regulator. SIRA’s purpose is to ensure NSW insurance schemes protect and support the people who need them, now and into the future.
Based within the Customer Support Division, the Fatality Support Team provides tailored support to families who have lost a loved one due to a motor vehicle fatality. This is a relatively new team, established to assist impacted families as they navigate the CTP scheme during an incredibly difficult time. The broader Customer Support Division is entering a new phase of transformation, with a strong commitment to placing the customer at the centre of our work. This includes redesigning how we operate to deliver a consistent, contemporary, and customer‑focused experience for people injured at work or on NSW roads.

About the role
Reporting to the Principal Liaison Coordinator within the Fatality Support Team, you will work in a specialised function within the broader Customer Support Division. In this role, you will be an integral part of the Fatality Support Team in delivering tailored assistance to families impacted by a motor vehicle fatality. Support is provided across the entire claims lifecycle, with the Fatality Support Team serving as a trusted point of contact to help families navigate claims and access appropriate support services.
Your day-to-day
-
No two days are the same. On any given day, you may be providing trauma‑informed support to families following a fatal motor vehicle crash, guiding them through CTP claim processes, or facilitating access to SIRA’s Trauma Support Service so they can receive timely support. You will maintain ongoing contact with families, responding to emerging needs with empathy and sound judgement, while helping them navigate complex, and often emotionally challenging, systems and requirements.
-
You will balance competing priorities while ensuring families receive clear, consistent and compassionate support. This includes working collaboratively with insurers and community service providers to coordinate early intervention, respond to sensitive queries, and resolving issues as they arise throughout the claims lifecycle. Within the team and broader organisation you will provide advice and insights on fatality‑related claims, escalate risks appropriately, and contribute to practical problem‑solving to improve customer outcomes.
-
You will lead the development of trauma‑informed resources and guidance materials to support families, apply relevant legislation, policies and procedures to all interactions, and ensure records are accurate, timely and compliant.
About you
-
You are an allied health professional (i.e psychology, rehabilitation counselling or social work) with experience supporting individuals affected by complex psychological injury within personal injury schemes. You bring a trauma‑informed, person‑centred approach to your work and can balance competing priorities while providing clear, compassionate guidance to people navigating traumatic grief. You are skilled at identifying and supporting the needs of impacted individuals and can translate complex legislative and procedural requirements into practical, meaningful actions for families.
-
This role works closely with internal stakeholders across the organisation, as well as external partners such as insurers and community service providers, to ensure families receive timely, coordinated and appropriate support. You are highly effective at managing a diverse and sensitive workload. Resilient and reflective, you are committed to maintaining best practice in trauma and grief support, contributing insights that inform continuous improvement, and supporting initiatives that strengthen systems, processes and resources for fatality‑related claims.
-
If you are passionate about providing specialised support to families impacted by traumatic grief and want to be part of a collaborative and innovative team focused on service excellence and meaningful outcomes, we would love to hear from you.
