"Victoria will become the first place in Australia to provide eligible injured workers with superannuation payments, after the Accident Compensation Amendment Bill 2009 passed through Parliament. The $90 million package, the biggest package ever provided for injured workers, will deliver improved benefits to workers suffering from permanent injuries and the families of workers who tragically lose their lives at work. WorkSafe Minister Tim Holding said the legislation would also support injured workers’ return to work and provide increased flexibility for employers."
