G’day John,
********************

In Question Time on Tuesday, I asked the government whether they
had advertised the Independent Review into Comcare. Surprise,
surprise… they haven’t. So, here I am, letting you know that
there is an Independent Review into Comcare.

Comcare is the national work health and safety and workers’
compensation authority. In addition to administering WHS and
workers’ compensation for federal departments and agencies, the
scheme covers almost 40 large businesses. I’ve linked
( [link removed] )
a list of current and former businesses covered by the scheme.

Right now, more than 470,000 Australian workers fall under the
Comcare scheme. Comcare was set up in 1988, and it's been a case
of set and forget. But, finally, there's an Independent Review
into Comcare.

There are so many bad stories about Comcare, and it's important
that if you have experience with it, you take the opportunity to
contribute to the review.

Through the consultation, they’re seeking responses from:

* Injured workers or family members of injured workers who have
lived experience of the Comcare scheme.

* Other participants directly involved in the workers’
compensation scheme include employers of injured workers, claims
managers, rehabilitation providers, and health care providers.

* Peak representative bodies and organisations.

* Legal representatives, insurers, actuaries and academics with
experience in workers’ compensation

Submissions close on the 2nd of December
