WorkCovers role is to reduce injury rates, and provide a service to assist injured workers to return to the workforce. Its hardly there to make a profit. By existing, it pushes the burden of cost onto businesses through premiums, instead of onto tax payers. It definitely has its good points, and bad points, but on the whole I think it is a pretty bloody good service. |
