Health Worker Rights During COVID-19 Exposure

Since they're in the highest risk group, it's critical that they know their rights.

Throughout the lockdowns, we’ve been complaining about being unable to socialize with our friends or family. Even while staying at home and doing nothing other than what we should, we are being depressed. When it comes to the health workers, they are fighting against the spread, pushing their mental limits and resisting all the difficulties. It takes experience, hardworking, passion and great commitment to be involved in such duty. For this occasion, it is always good to remind them of the health worker rights.

The health care industry is the fastest growing industry in Australia

Although the growth in the social services and health care sector is excellent progress for our community; with the risk of COVID-19 exposure, our doctors should be at risk. To keep things under control, we should act responsibly and evaluate the consequences of our reckless actions. All over the world, countless people were affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Above 2 million people passed away. On the other hand, statistics strikingly demonstrate that the number of health workers permanently affected by the pandemic is unignorable.

Fortunately, in Australia, those in the health care sector are supported by the laws. Under the Workers Compensation Act, injured health workers can claim compensation which includes wage replacements, medical expenses and lump sum payment.

Personal injury laws cover work-related injuries

It is fair to say that workers sustaining injuries are being supported by the laws. Additionally, injured workers in Australia can claim this compensation without needing further investigation to determine faultiness as the system is based on the no-fault scheme. However, employers are expected to act in goodwill. Employers that are liable for the victim’s injuries can be sued and the consequences can be tougher. Under the Personal Injury Laws of Australia, injured workers of every sector and industry can claim workers compensation. Although, nationwide, the majority of the workers are eligible for the compensation, a very small group of workers might be unable to claim workers compensation. This entirely depends on their form of employment.

The same benefits can be claimed by anyone sustaining injuries after a negligence-based accident

Although the extent of compensation differs between each claim and accident, under the personal injury laws, compensation can be awarded to those sustaining injuries after an accident. Personal injury claims are based on accidental harm and the loss due to the accident. These accidents can occur in places even where you feel safe and secure. As an example, the majority of personal injury claims are made for accidents in restaurants, workplaces, shopping centres, parking lots, concert venues and other crowded areas that are open to the public. Although the majority of these accidents are quickly recoverable, some can lead to long-lasting and frustrating injuries. Your nervous system can be damaged permanently, you can lose your income and even worse, you may not be eligible to work again. Which can lead to enormous financial and mental difficulties. As mental sufferings are a fact, depending on your injuries and the situation, you can receive compensation for emotional distress.

Personal injury claims and what you should keep in mind during the claim

The process can be long and exhausting. However, you shouldn’t forget that the compensation you may receive will play a key role in your future as you might be unable to work and earn anymore. These claims are complex but can be managed by those with professional competency. For this reason, you can always feel free to arrange an appointment with a lawyer to discuss your opportunities. Throughout the claim, your situation and ongoing treatment should be evaluated to reach a conclusion. Also, witness statements and other forms of evidence can be critical.
