Description

Overviews present coverage under the ACA 2001 for mental injury caused by physical injury, by sexual offence, and by a single traumatic event experienced during the course of employment. Contends that current coverage is illogical, arbitrary, and out of step with psychiatric research in this area. Considers the types of policy considerations that would be needed before recommendations for change were made, such as cost and extent of claims.
