The COVID-19 pandemic has not only been a global health crisis; it has severely affected the Australian economy due to reduced productivity, loss of life, business closures, trade disruption and the decimation of the tourism industry.
The month of August marks the Tradies National Health Month, which is an initiative to highlight and raise awareness around the health, wellbeing and injury risks that affect tradies.
The range of possible injuries sustained in transport accidents in Victoria would take longer than this short blog post to describe.

What is a Dependency Claim?
Partners and dependents of workers who die from a workplace injury or illness may have an entitlement to support and financial assistance. These entitlements are accessed through a WorkCover Dependency Claim.
At Zaparas Lawyers, we often assist clients who are struggling with the psychological effects of having experienced or witnessed a traumatic incident at work.
Many of our clients don’t realise that they are just as entitled to WorkCover benefits as workers who have suffered physical injuries.
Tradies are an integral part of our workforce and our community. Their contribution to the workforce in Australia involves performing roles as our electricians, bricklayers, painters, carpenters, and plumbers.
