Leslie CaronMy husband is a seriously injured worker. Who was injured when we were living in Australia in 2011. He is now a victim of the NSW Workcover System. Even as a seriously injured worker (38% WPI) he is becoming hopeless as to what the future holds. He has applied to over 275 jobs and still is required to send in 5 job applications a week so as to receive his meager (taxed at the highest rate because we are overseas) benefit. His physical and mental condition have deteriorated since we returned home. Physically he is cleared to only work 20 hours a week (although his doctor doubts even that is no longer a good idea) and as he was in construction he cannot work in his skilled field any longer. He feels like he can no longer support his family. My husband was once a vibrant physically active, "glass is half full" fully engaged father and man. Today he is depressed, in pain and feeling like the light at the end of the tunnel is disappearing. He will continue to jump through all the hoops so that he can provide his family with a small amount of money however, he cannot afford physical therapy or private insurance (which we need in the US) or to go back to university which he would like to do (to become retrained) as long as we are in this broken and meaningless system. His request for a commutation was denied by the insurer because he was told that not all "options for rehab" had been exhausted...so on he goes aimlessly applying for jobs he knows he will never get because he is physical broken, can only work 20 hrs per week and cannot lift more than 5 kilos. Thank you for making this film. I wish I could contribute more but because of my husband's accident and consequent NSW Workcover system our family lives just above the level of poverty. Sincerely, Leslie C.12y

lyn joy vanstonThis project is long overdue many would agree .Not ever needing work cover I was not in a position to fully understand the complexities of it all. The Scheme Project is going to enlighten people into just what does go on behind closed doors.This will be such an eye opener to everyone. I hope the public gives this the support and attention that this project deserves. It will benefit everybody.12y
