Some South Australian public sector workers (for example, police, firefighters, ambulance officers) have work injury rights under their awards, known as “additional compensation” schemes.
Lieschke & Weatherill worked with the Police Association of South Australia to establish the first additional compensation scheme and played a leading role in drafting the award provisions, which became the template for award compensation schemes for other public sector workers.
Having been involved in the creation of additional compensation schemes, Lieschke & Weatherill takes a special interest in award additional compensation schemes.
