 Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (14:33): (1570) My question is to the minister for WorkCover, and I ask on behalf of Mr Brad Swadesir of Wangaratta. Mr Swadesir injured his back in a workplace incident in 2022 and currently is on a disability pension. Mr Swadesir lodged his documents to remove himself from the WorkCover process, and the legislation states that he has 120 days for this process to take its course. Well into the 120 days they sought more clarification, and now there has been a reset for another 120 days. This has gone on on numerous occasions, and I am seeking clarification on when Mr Swadesir will have his claim processed.
