flag Victorian teachers face worsening mental health due to delayed WorkCover claims, with doubled denials since 2023.

flag Victorian teachers say prolonged delays in WorkCover claims are worsening mental health and delaying recovery, with stricter eligibility rules since 2023 leading to double the denial rate for mental health claims. flag Teachers report grueling processes, denied claims, and halted treatments despite documented trauma and bullying, with some developing secondary injuries. flag Advocates warn the system unfairly disadvantages educators, citing rushed decisions and lack of medical evidence, while proposed claimant rights lack enforceability. flag In 2023–24, mental injuries made up 27% of education sector claims, with slips, trips, and body stress also common. flag Workers denied benefits receive 95% of earnings for 13 weeks, but appeals through the Workplace Injury Commission are lengthy and stressful.
