Retain your right to choice of representation of you get injured at work


Retain your right to choice of representation of you get injured at work
The issue
Currently an injured worker can have help from a lawyer or non legally qualified advocate (Independent Registered Agent). The WA state government want to take away your right of choice and you will be compelled to use a lawyer at significantly higher cost. Even if you are a union member you will in all likelihood be referred to a lawyer.
This is not about union bashing or lawyer bashing. It is about you retaining a right of choice. The McGowan government want to force you to use a lawyer or be unrepresented
This is not fair.
