I’ve been diagnosed with a dust disease – how do I start the process for workers compensation?

In this episode, we dive into a crucial topic: navigating the workers’ compensation process when diagnosed with a dust disease. In this conversation, James is joined by Katherine Stone the Head of Dust Diseases Care at iCare. Together, they shed light on the workers compensation process in NSW.

Katherine provides an overview of the Dust Diseases Care Scheme, explaining how it provides crucial support to individuals who have been exposed to harmful dust in the workplace, as well as their dependants. During this, conversation, James and Katherine delve into the scheme, simplify the application process and dispel common misconceptions. Importantly, it humanises the scheme and the people that guide and support individuals in their workers compensation journey.
