The NSW Government has since 1987 changed the law ...our rights to claim compensation were changed then and called the "Modified Common Laws" to stop the flow of fake claims ...but in the process they stopped genuine injured workers from getting their due rights compensation...because nobody opposed the Government ..the government thought they could continue to squeeze out our rights and save $$$$...so here we are...injured workers cannot claim their due compensations..the NSW Government has put in place a web so that an injured worker hit walls after walls and usually give up ..even driving some to suicide, as there is nothing an injured worker with less than 15% WPI (whole Person permanent impairment) who can no longer work can do ..the injured worker:
- cannot claim compensation
- cannot access Centrelink support as usually even if the employer's insurance is paying the injured worker via the employer's pay system, even if the injured worker cannot work...the employee is still officially employed..stopping him from accessing all centrelink supports such as rent assistance, disability assistance etc...legal aid etc...
- cannot access his superannuation TPD insurance as he still officially employed.
- cannot any longer have access to solicitors unless he has lots of $$$ as legal aid is not available because he still officially employed.
- Cannot resign from the job as doing so will compromise his right to centrelink support..
So in other words..an injured worker is ...to say it nicely ..stuffed....
That is why we need to support each other and act..we need to voice that it is unfair and un-Australian to treat honest, hard working injured workers like if they are not equal to other Australians...we are NOT ! The NSW Government need to stop discriminating injured workers!
