BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Workers' compensation claims in Bankstown city dropped by 860 after new laws were introduced in June 2012, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The new laws no longer cover injuries sustained on commutes to and from work. Bankstown state Labor Member of Parliament Tania Mihailuk said the drop is because of changes in the claims process, rather than fewer injuries happening at the workplace.
