Victorian statistics for all work-related injuries
Dear Worksafe Victoria,
If possible, please treat this as an informal or administrative request. Otherwise, please treat this as a formal request for documents under the Freedom of Information Act.
I am requesting documents from Worksafe Victoria that show the annual statistics from 2000 for the following:
1. The annual number of all substantiated or accepted claims as being work-related for all Victorian Workers;
2. The number for all substantiated or accepted claims as being work-related for: "psychological injuries" and "physical injuries". The two figures will reconcile with the figures in point 1.
3. The number of all claims - that were not substantiated or accepted - as being work-related for all Victorian Workers.
4. The number for all claims - that were not substantiated or accepted - as being work related for: "psychological injuries" and "physical injuries". The two figures will reconcile with the figures in point 3.
In accordance with section 17 of the FOI Act, the department can produce a report from its database that satisfies the terms of the request.
Yours faithfully,
Julie Middleton
