Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)
The changes removed around 17,000 victims of violent crime from the scheme each year, including those with injuries like a smashed hand or an injury to the knee serious enough to require surgery. Thousands of workers who are injured because of criminal acts at work, such as shopworkers or security guards who are assaulted, are no longer compensated through the scheme.
