How have the changes to long-term benefits affected workers in the Victorian WorkCover system?

The Victorian government's reforms redefined mental injury, excluding compensation for stress or burnout from typical job duties. This, coupled with stricter long-term benefit rules (limiting benefits after 130 weeks and requiring over 20 percent permanent impairment), has led to a sharp rise in claim rejections and termination of weekly payments. The reforms also increased employer premiums by 42 percent.

How does the NSW government's approach to workers' compensation spending compare to other budget priorities, and what are the potential consequences?

The budget's focus on developers contrasts with cuts to workers' compensation and a lack of new cost-of-living relief. The $1 billion for developers aims to address housing shortages, while the cuts to workers' compensation reflect the government's fiscal priorities. This creates an imbalance, favoring developers while potentially harming vulnerable workers.
