Overview

This year’s ALA WorkCover seminar features a multi-pronged program for you to gain practical knowledge for your practice, learn valuable insights on initiatives from within WorkCover Queensland and in the work injury space, and hear updates on law reform.

For the first part of the afternoon, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Praveen Vijaysegaran and barrister Charlotte Campbell will take you through OPT and repetitive strain injuries. Then after a break you’ll hear from WorkCover Qld’s Matthew Bannan on WorkCover’s Employment Connect and Rehab initiatives and Sharon Stratford on It Pays to Care, an initiative founded in 2022 to promote fair and efficient injury compensation schemes.

To close out the seminar, Qld committee member and past branch president Greg Spinda will provide an update on Workers’ Compensation Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld) Reforms.

Take this opportunity to join with ALA colleagues and fellow lawyers aiding injured individuals in workers’ compensation cases, and come away with enhanced understanding for your practice.
