THE workers’ compensation scheme for federal public servants will be overhauled in an attempt to cut down on dubious claims, Fairfax Media reports.
The government review of the billion dollar Comcare insurance scheme reportedly calls for a crackdown on suspect payouts, including on outright fraudulent claims.
The review urges that the legislation on Commonwealth public sector compensation claims be rewritten, and makes 147 recommendations, Fairfax reports.
The aim of the blitz is reportedly to get civil servants back to work faster and end a reliance on compensation.
The scheme reportedly lost $500 million in 2011/12 financial year as the number of claims, many related to bullying and harassment, increased.
