Please post here any messages that relate to the current legislative changes to the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act. It seems that the comments of some on this blog are under scrutiny by our Parliamentary members in South Australia.
Whilst it is the intention of this site to give everyone a right to speak out freely against the current Workcover system we must ensure that the comments are not critical of an otherwise oppressive and abusive system that works to the government's advantage and to the serious detriment of injured workers who because of their workplace injuries are an oppressed minority group.

The WorkCover Action Group is a loose collective of injured workers who are concerned about the impact of gross wrongdoing and/ or illegal conduct within the WorkCover system. It is not a support service and does not offer legal advice. It’s sole objective is to gather and collate factual and corroborative information which can be presented to appropriate Parliamentary Committees and/ or media outlets which can scrutinise or highlight these acts.
