VIC Police and workcover time limits?

[Mike Love]

Hi,
Historical employment - I worked as a Federal Agent in the AFP 20 years ago.
They did some dodgy stuff - I left.
I tried to get copies of reports etc, they delayed and refused me access.

Anyway, 20 years on, I think I want to claim Workcover or compensation!

Is there a time limit to claim under work cover?

This will be likely be covered by Comcare, not Workcover.

I don't do personal injury though I do know that there are time limits in Workcover, and would expect limits for ComCare as well.

Talk to a personal injury lawyer and see what they say. PTSD can manifest itself years latter and if this is the situation you may have a chance at a claim. Failing a recent manifestation I do not like your chances.

Maybe find some old copies of Blue Star and contact the lawyers who advertise there.
Some of those firms may well have expertise in respect of
the particular complexities of psychiatric injuries to police.
