Noor Blumer has her hat on as President of the Law Society to swing the Human Rights Act at bosses intruding on the medical consultations of employers claiming workers compensation:

Consistent with the article in yesterday’s Canberra Times, some Canberra law firms are receiving reports of employers and insurance companies in the ACT insisting on attending medical appointments with injured workers who are claiming workers compensation.

Injured workers have also reported that they been told by their employer which doctor they must attend, and have not been advised of their entitlement to attend and nominate their own doctor.

This has to stop.
