14. Hon HELEN BULLOCK to the Minister for Training and
Workforce Development:

(1) How many
workers' compensation claims did the occupational health and safety
management receive relating to the mould outbreak and remediation work?
(2) Have those claims been finalised?
(3) If no to (2), when will they be finalised?
(4) If yes to (2), how many of those claims were successful
and how many were rejected?

claims being rejected?

AnswerView source ↗

(1) Five.
(2) Two have been finalised and three are still pending.

claim is expected to be finalised in approximately two weeks. The remaining two
claims are still being assessed by RiskCover. An exact time for completion
cannot be provided.
(4) Of the two claims finalised both were rejected.
