The Compensation Court of New South Wales was a court in the Australian State of New South Wales. It had unlimited jurisdiction within the state in workers compensation matters.
It was abolished on 31 December 2003 and replaced by the Workers Compensation Commission of New South Wales for most workers compensation matters. Jurisdiction in respect of the injury of police and miners was transferred to the District Court of New South Wales. The Compensation Court Judges all became District Court Judges at this time.
