For those whom are intersted in reading & learning how Australian Workcover Legislation is.

There may be some interesting stuff in here for the "People Taskforce" to pick up on & include.

We understand that Truckies, nurses & Teachers claims for "Workplace injuries & Stress" is up the most in these industries according to a spokeperson from Safework advisory from Western Australia in the Australian news this week.

It's interesting that Australia covers for Workplace Stress

WorkCover EOI “SMELLY” and “IMPROPER”


Monday, 3 November 2008


Stunning evidence given today to a Parliamentary Inquiry revealed that the Chief Executive of a major company believed the WorkCover expression of interest process seemed "smelly” and “improper".

Mr Paul Serong, Chief Executive of Cambridge Integrated Services, made the comments to the Legislative Council Statutory Authorities Review Committee about eventual successful bidder Employers Mutual Limited's application being lodged two months after the closing date for expressions of interest for the WorkCover claims management contract.

Hon R Lucas: “Does that then raise the perception of potential unfairness?

Mr P Serong: “…Quite clearly it does. Yes, it does raise unfairness. It also could be a consideration, maybe, that information might have been gleaned to that tenderer. To me it smacks of something smelly.

Hon T Stephens: “Improper.

Mr P Serong: “Yes, it is improper.”

They have had a conference on 15 September 2009

Have a read of what was discussed.

Seems to be very much "Psychologically based"

Who's creaming the systems & why?

Whilst everyone suffers differently from accidents there seems to be a great push towards labelling injured people into a "Depression group (Personality disorder cluster)"

Who is behind this?

Is it the Pharmaceutical Companies out to make big bucks?

Serious Questions need to be asked why & how much is being spent on these"experts"
