帮朋友寻求帮助

clione

前几天朋友跟我说，她在工厂里做工（朋友来澳洲一年半，英文不太好），中午吃饭的时候，因为刚拖过地，很滑，她不小心跌了一跤，下巴缝了四针，但她去看医生的时候出示的是medicare card，幸好做CT的时候遇见了在那里工作的几个广东人闲聊之下觉得朋友应该用工伤卡而不是自己的medicare card,他们立刻去问那个医生，医生表情很不自然，跟同去的工厂里的老外商量几句才让朋友用了工伤卡（好象是），然后保险公司才打电话给我朋友询问具体事宜。

现在朋友跟我说她呆在家里，照拿工资，工厂方面一直催她回去上班，但她一直觉得头昏和头痛。遇到这种情况朋友不知道该怎么办。
第一，工厂方面最初欺负朋友刚来澳洲不懂英文，并没有打算给她报工伤，若不是意外遇见那几个在医院工作的广东人，也许这事情就不了了之了。
第二，如果医生说她已经没什么事了，但事实是朋友还是头痛，那要怎么办呢？

我也没遇见过这种情况，不知道足迹里有没有朋友懂这方面的知识的，我朋友该怎么做才能保证自己的切身利益。

this is work injury for sure

your friend should claim work compensation if she is seriously injured, don't trust the doctor, find another one, you should trust youself

1. you have rights to find your own DR.
2. You need to tell your DR that it is work related injure
3. ask for a COC - Certificate of capacity which clearly states out the "modified duty" or "unfit for all duties" and so on.
4. A typical COC expires in 14 days and you will need to see the DR again to get a new COC.
5. your employer has responsibility to give you a RTW - return to work plan and they need to consult with you
6. you may keep changing DR as you like....
7. normal RTW will give you higher than your normal wage as the goveronment will calculate you PIAWE - pre injury average weekly earnings (which covers your shift loadings, OT and allowances) and you will have 100% of that for first 10 days and then 95% + your work rate (if you RTW).....there is a fomula... bit complicate.....
8. I am a manager and I am also the RTW officer for our company. I always look after injuried workers and I am very angry about your employer's inresponsible behaviour if what you said was true.
9. Please seek help from your union or go to worksafe victoria website to find out more.....
10. However, I also would like to say that I have seen so many people played games with employers in this area too.....the goal is to get $ and avoid work.....
11. 如果医生说她已经没什么事了，但事实是朋友还是头痛, then find another DR until you get what you want.
12. If all 医生说她已经没什么事了, you then have no valid COC and you have to work as per normal duty requires. At that time, you should have a clearance certificate from the DR.
