Neoliberalism, Workers’ Compensation and the Productivity Commission Download

Description:

Responsibility for workers' compensation policy in Australia rests
primarily with state and territory governments. This is a reflection of the
federalist nature of the Australian Constitution. Over the course of the
20th-century this gave rise to numerous inconsistencies in relation to the
design of the various schemes. Differences in the range and amount of
compensation payments available to workers are the most obvious
illustrations of this haphazard policy and legislative development. More
recently, since the mid-1990s, there have been attempts to reduce the
level of inconsistency between the jurisdictions albeit with limited
success.
