The advertisement states, the from the words of a doctor it is beneficial for the worker to get back to work, as soon as possible, as this aids in the recovery process.
The advertisement is misleading in many ways, in particular that the suggestion is not from a doctor.
Evidence from within the medical profession has suggested otherwise and may not necessarily be correct even in the majority of examples, as depicted in the advertisement.
The government outsources its workcover claims to agencies or rather processing businesses. These businesses are instructed to minimise the costs (payments) by not recognising claims as legitimate.
When an employee is injured, and is not working, the claims are referred to workcover, and compensation payments are made.
The government’s prime objective is to minimise the amount of payments made to the public, and not the health of the individual as portrayed in the advertisement.
