Private Insurance is needed

WCV's firmly believes that Victorian workers need to source their own
workplace insurance.

We know that injured workers are not receiving their entitlements to
workplace insurance provided by Worksafe Victoria.

So, to safeguard all workers we believe there is a genuine need for workers
to insure themselves and not to rely on your employers compliance to obtain
claim entitlements.

We suggest that any insurances obtained specifically for workplace insurances
be tax deductible to the worker.

We suggest that all payments for such insurances be available to workers on
a weekly, monthly or quarterly installment plan.

This process alone would make worksafe un-viable as it takes their power to deny
workers their entitlements and force's insurance companies to defend their clients
(the workers) with appropriate legal representation and without any expense being
laid at the feet of injured workers, who can least afford it.

This process would also make the appropriate legislation inapplicable and render
worksafe useless!

We need to advocate for this opportunity!
