Description
The Workers Compensation sphere is constantly evolving with the use of new technology, the recent prevalence of stress claims and tensions arising between employers and insurers.
The 2016 Workers Compensation Masterclass will address:
- Surveillance issues;
- Termination issues;
- Social media use;
- Stress claims; and
- Effective return to work programs
The Masterclass provides you with the opportunity to attend alongside others within the industry, who are actively engaged in Workers Compensation claims. This includes brokers who sell the policies, individuals who manage the claims, and those who advise on the strategy and defence of claims.
The 2016 Masterclass will be presented using part-concurrent sessions by:

- Dr John Saul – General Practitioner with a special interest in workers compensation
- Lisa Jarman M Org Psych - PhD candidate: Menzies Research Institute Tasmania, University of Tasmania
Chief Commissioner Carey returns in 2016 to conclude the Masterclass with an hour long interactive session, which is a wonderful and unique opportunity to hear from the Chief Commissioner outside of the Tribunal.
The Masterclass is an outstanding opportunity for you to connect and network with your Tasmanian peers whilst learning about the latest issues affecting Workers Compensation. The event will conclude with drinks and canapés from 5:00pm allowing you to discuss and dissect the day.
The Masterclass will benefit everyone who attends, from a first year broker to the most experienced lawyer.
