The future of Victorian WorkCover legislation is at a pivotal point and your support is crucial.
The proposed WorkCover Bill has sparked intense debate in Parliament. The Lower House saw the Liberal Party’s amendment to freeze premiums defeated, while the Upper House has adjourned the debate until March 2024. This pause is our chance to influence the outcome.
Call for WorkCover that works for every Victorian here.
One of our most pressing concerns is the proposed 20% Whole Person Impairment Test, a barrier potentially preventing many injured workers from receiving adequate support. Our focus is to ensure every injured worker gets the necessary care and assistance to return to work safely.
As union members, we have the power to advocate for a WorkCover system that really helps our workers, especially in cases of mental health and stress-related issues. The current reforms fall short of providing the comprehensive care and support workers deserve.
Let’s send a message to our policymakers – demand a WorkCover scheme that prioritises the health and recovery of all Victorian workers. It’s a call for a system that responds effectively to the needs of those injured on the job.
