Victorian WorkCover Authority figures show that while the number of claims for musculoskeletal complaints and for major sprains and strains has remained largely static since 2008-09, that of psychological injury claims has risen dramatically. They are now the third-largest category of workplace injuries, and the average payout for them has also increased from $A73,000 in 2008-09 to close to $A90,000 in 2013-14. Kate Carnell, ex-CEO of mental health group beyondblue and now CEO of the Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry, says more needs to be done by employers to tackle job stress early on
