SRC Act – Presumptive workers’ compensation provisions for first responders

Policies, Publications & Submissions - November 8, 2022

Summary

The ACTU and affiliates welcome the Federal Government’s commitment to take action on the 2018 Senate Education and Employment References Committee report, The People behind 000: mental health for our first responders.

The ACTU is supportive of an expansion of the definition of “first responder” and to that end would appreciate that opportunity to talk with Departmental officers with the view to making a subsequent submission on the definition.
