    Good luck getting re hired bad time in your life for that. Ive been on workcare since 91 and no one will touch you
    even when you tell them the Gov will give them $20,000 to take you on. Wish you all the best in finding work

    Have you tried Swf or any of those guys?
    They always seem to be taking blokes on to cover interstate routes.

    I'd try toll or one of those delivery companies. But having a back issue may be a road block for parcel delivery

    not back issue. have had both shoulders done. one in may 2010 and other sept 2013. yeah know as soon as employers hear work cover they run a mile. no heavy lifting or repetitious work aloud by surgeon. or overhead work.

    i was under the impression that if your injuries do not hamper your ability at work you were not required to disclose previous work cover matters, they more ask that question as a matter of courtesy. i have been on workers comp for workplace bullying and have had no trouble being re-employed elsewhere.

    also if you have been on work cover, arent they supposed to assist you in finding re-employment? i know that i had a "Return to work coordinator" when i was on stress leave.
    I got red dust in my veins.
