Why and How Employers Should Champion Workplace Wellbeing.
Presented by Cameron Blight, Health and Wellbeing Advisor at WorkSafe Tasmania.

The Disjunctive Test: The ongoing effect of section 25 of the Act.
Presented by Sandra Taglieri, Barrister at Derwent & Tamar Chambers. Following the amendments in 2007, the change in Section 25 of the Act to a purely disjunctive test has not been without ramifications. This session will consider the effect of section 25 of the Act on not only case law but also on the Workers Compensation Scheme as a whole. |
