Worked in the industry years back. Might not be obvious to the average Joe, but the scale of and tax payer money being wasted on fraudulent workers comp claims is staggering. And the system with its pathetically weak legislation almost encourages it - from dodgy doctors in cahoots with dodger vocational rehab providers to sign off workers with nothing injuries as unfit, because they continue to get paid by the government with little accountability. To health professionals charging insurers for literally doing nothing, making up billable hours. If you want to sit on your arse on compo then you can - the only thing that will stop you is your moral conscious. Which thankfully probably applies to most.
From experience, the worse offenders are council workers, the defence force, wharfies and teachers. Unparalleled scamming. I’ve seen PTSD claims for bee stings and for rolling ankles in soccer games. I’ve seen surveillance footage of people deliberately falling over items they have placed down in the aisles of shops.
I’ve seen people paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars for being told they work too slow.
