Injured Workers Day highlights the need for a fair and just compensation system, workplace safety, and support systems that protect the dignity and rights of all injured workers. 

During this online event, we will have a Q&A with Dr Mary Wyatt followed by a panel of WorkCover experts who will discuss what changes are needed to fix the current broken WorkCover system. . 

Dr Mary Wyatt is an occupational physician and a leader in work and health policy. She is the founder of It Pays to Care, a reform initiative promoting early, compassionate, and evidence-based approaches to injury recovery and return to work. Dr Wyatt advocates for a WorkCover system that is fair, effective, and sustainable for all. 

The WorkCover experts panel will feature Assistant Secretary of the VTHC Wil Stracke, lawyer Nadia Grech, Union Assist Coordinator Claire Mitchell, and injured worker Dianne Shaw. 

Please join us to learn more about what changes need to happen in the WorkCover system and fight for injured workers to be treated with dignity and respect.
