Scheme Details

Subsidence Advisory NSW (SA NSW) is now outsourcing the claims assessment process. Opportunities exist for service providers to partner with the NSW Government and assist community members potentially affected by mine subsidence damage.


Following large scale reforms to Subsidence Advisory NSW-s (SA NSW) governing legislation and operating framework, service providers are required in the following construction and professional services fields:



Building Inspector and Estimator
Civil Engineering
Environmental Studies
Geotechnical Engineering
Property Valuer
Quantity Surveying
Rail Engineer
Structural Engineering
Surveyor
Utility and Asset Locating Consultant
Following stakeholder feedback, the NSW Government agreed that using private sector service providers to assess claims for possible damage resulting from mine subsidence would increase efficiency and transparency of the claims compensation process.


The scheme will allow SA NSW access to a pool of diverse, quality service providers with relevant expertise to assist in the delivery of high quality results in mine subsidence claims management.

• SA NSW the peak regulatory body for mine subsidence compensation, will establish a new case management system where individual case managers are assigned to property owners to ensure they are treated fairly throughout the compensation process.


• All claims will be lodged with SA NSW through a new ePortal allowing claimants to have visibility of the process from start to finish.


• Claims for compensation will be subject to an independent assessment by an assessor chosen by the claimant from the prequalification scheme. Mine proprietors and SA NSW will be obliged to compensate claimants in accordance with these assessments.


SA NSW-s Prequalification Scheme offers a platform for service providers to tender for provision of assessment services to government agencies.


The pool of prequalified service providers will provide assessment expertise and services to assis
