Make WorkCover Work for Everyone
Updated 09/06/2023
<p>The Victorian government's proposed changes to the WorkCover legislation, specifically regarding the criteria for mental injury claims, have raised many concerns. These changes, which require the injury to be predominantly caused by employment through traumatic events with clinically significant outcomes, are anticipated to have a significant impact on the number of claims lodged and accepted. Our <a href="/public_docs/2023/wc-info-flyer.pdf" target="_blank">info flyer</a> explores the consequences of these draconian changes, highlighting the financial and emotional costs for workers and the need for a more supportive approach to mental injury claims. <a href="www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/minister-danny-pearson-stand-up-for-workcover&nid=6676&rid=1374320" target="_blank">Sign our megaphone petition</a> and join thousands of other union members opposing these draconian changes. Stand together to stop these attacks on injured workers.</p>
