  • Appeal decisions made in relation to your injury or illness;
  • Have your information held in a private and confidential manner; and
  • Not be dismissed because you reported an injury or illness.

You have responsibilities to:

  • Report all incidents to your Leader immediately;
  • Provide information which is true and not misleading;
  • Where reasonably requested, attend a doctor’s appointment;
  • Maintain a current medical certificate;
