Topic:

In January this year you applied for an exciting new job. You are now on the shortlist for the National Manager, Occupational Safety and Health, for an engineering business. You have been to two interviews, undertaken psychological evaluation and you are aware that it is down to two applicants.

The final task is for you to demonstrate your knowledge of the Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Legislation in South Australia. Your role will be to manage the injury management, rehabilitation and insurance areas and their respective staff (2000 people). Furthermore, the business is considering self-insuring for workers’ compensation in 5 years’ time.

Your Task:

Prepare a professional paper summarising the South Australia Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986.

Part One (approx. 2500 words)

• Using all Parts of the Act as headings, prepare an overview of the points in each Part you consider most relevant to a business with safety, claims and injury management responsibilities. If you feel a Part is not relevant, state the reasons why.

• Your summary should be written in your own words, to demonstrate an understanding of the Act, therefore, it should contain minimal or NO quotes.

• You need to read the entire Act and it is suggested the summaries on the WorkCover WA website may assist with understanding.

Part Two (approx. 400 words)

• Define the provisions for common law under South Australia Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986.

• Discuss how it relates to the Occupational health & Safety Act 1984.
