I will fight for a Code of Injured Workers' Rights

When injured workers go through the WorkCover system, they can face disbelief, delays, intrusive surveillance, and adversarial processes when they are at their most vulnerable. Oftentimes, instead of being supported to recover and return to work safely, injured workers are forced to fight for treatment, income, and dignity.

A meaningful Code of Injured Workers’ Rights would set clear, enforceable standards, ensuring workers are treated with fairness and respect, supported in recovery, and not retraumatised by the WorkCover system itself.
