The NSW State Insurance Regulatory Authority has stopped a Central Coast physiotherapist from operating in personal injury schemes. 

SIRA issued directions to Didier Regis Brunet, and the business he operates, Gorokan Physio, preventing him providing physiotherapy, including administrative services, under the state workers' compensation and motor accident legislation. 

The directions were issued on 6 August 2026 under the State Insurance and Care Governance Act 2015 and took effect on 14 August 2026. They remain in force unless revoked by SIRA. 

SIRA also referred relevant concerns and evidence to Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) and the Health Professionals Council Authority (HPCA) for action under the national health practitioner regulatory framework.  

HPCA subsequently placed conditions on Mr Brunet’s practice. 

SIRA can issue directions to a health practitioner to stop them operating within the personal injury schemes if they fail to operate within the relevant guidelines or are under investigation by another regulator. 

SIRA regulates three statutory insurance schemes in NSW - Workers Compensation, Compulsory Third Party and Home Building Compensation, and also has some regulatory functions in other NSW insurance schemes including the Lifetime Care and Support and Dust Diseases schemes.
