I injured myself at work (the place where I was employed). Workcover covered me for the loss of wages from my empoyment but not my business because they said its not a company (i.e. pty ltd). Question 1: If I make any earnings through my own business, do I have to declare it? If I declare it, they will deduct my weekly EML payments. Question 2: If I am required to declare it and have my weekly ...

It seems that most talk of workers comp. and the failing system tends to only address financial issues and the need to level out the proffit/loss ratio for the insurers. I have found little attention being payed to the devistating effect on the lives of the real victims in this mess, the injured workers.South Australia's system is a pseudo "state run program" yet they answer only to their own board and private investors. Each year they argue in the parliament over ways to cut cost for ...

My name is Colin, i am on the victorian system.

I am very happy to finally see a forum for injured workers.

One suggestion i have, is that everyone should state which system they are on e:g Victoria, NSW ,South Australia ect, because each state has slightly different laws and it would help to be able to give advice relevant to that state.

Cheers

It's all too often about "me first; what about me?". And before I'm howled down with indignant denials, I hasten to say that I know that in the end, everyone is just trying to pay their mortgages, send their kids to school and put food on the table. Not a big ask - not trying to rip anyone off. But unlike many other legitimate victims of dysfunctional legal and administrative ...

But that is okay whatever they wish I will dance their dance. I have received a letter from my work cover company to attend an appointment with one of their doctors to be medically examined. I don’t have a problem with seeing one of their doctors; after all they are paying my monthly GP visit, some of my medications and my regular psychologist appointment, but they do not pay me a regular wage. After the way I was treated ...

I read today in the advertiser that NIck Xenophon had been engaging in another job other than his position as an MP. He said in an interview that he does some legal work on the side as a pro bono lawyer. I wonder if he does any Workcover work? How can a law maker ( legislative council member ) participate in making make the laws on one hand and then make money from arguing points of law on the very legislation he has helped to legislate? I do not intend to simply target Nick ...

There have now been 21 suicides in 5 years by Injured Workers trapped on WorkCover benefits. Given that only 4000 claims go onto benefits each year WorkCover would only find out about suicides by those from within that group. If we multiply 4000 x 5 years we get 20000 people going onto benefits in 5 years. The accepted rate ...

What would happen if a co-worker is injured because of a injured workers incapacity/disability, or the injured worker aggrevates their injury? Would the Doctor and the employer be open to a law suit?
