Dear Madam,
Freedom of Information Request
I refer to your request dated 14 December 2019, which was received by WorkSafe on 14 December
2019, seeking access to Victorian annual statistics from 2000 for the following:
1. The annual number of substantiated or accepted complaints/claims as being work-related injuries
for Victorian workers.
2. The annual number for substantiated or accepted as being work-related injuries for: "psychological
injuries" and "physical injuries". The two figures wil reconcile with the figures in point 1.
3. The annual number of complaints - that were not substantiated or accepted - as being work-
related injuries for Victorian workers.
4. The annual number for complaints - that were not substantiated or accepted - as being work
related for: "psychological injuries" and "physical injuries". The two figures wil reconcile with the
figures in point.
Following a thorough and diligent search of WorkSafe’s record management systems, databases and
relevant business records, I have attached copies of all documentation held by WorkSafe.
If you are not satisfied with this decision, you may seek a review within 28 days of receipt of this
letter to the Information Commissioner at PO Box 24274, Melbourne VIC 3001, or by phone on
1300 006 842, or by email at xxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xxx.xx.
