2024 Review of the Dust Diseases Scheme
29th Oct 2024
NEW SOUTH WALES
The NSW Legislative Council’s Standing Committee on Law and Justice (Committee) has now published stakeholder submissions to the 2024 Review of the Dust Diseases Scheme (2024 Review), including the ALA’s submission.
The Committee’s focus for the 2024 Review is on support available to younger workers within the Dust Diseases Scheme (Scheme) in NSW, as well as risk areas for silicosis. In our submission, we address both these focus areas and contend that the Scheme is ill-suited to address the needs of younger workers, especially those diagnosed with accelerated forms of silicosis in the stonemasonry and tunnelling industries.
Thank you to members of the ALA’s Dust Diseases Special Interest Group for their time and contributions to this submission.
