I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Police.
The Western Australia Police Force
advises that this response is limited to claims with an accident for the
relevant calendar year by police staff or police auxiliary officers. Police
officers are not covered by workers' compensation; therefore, work-related
medical expenses are met by the Western Australia Police Force.
(1) In 2019, there were 13 claims;
in 2020, there were six; and in 2021, there were 12.
(2) In 2019, there were 55 claims;
in 2020, there were 54; and in 2021, there were 35.
