Bring this healing story to your community

Why?

The church  has had to confront massive compliance and safeguarding processes in recent years and adopt zero tolerance for abuse of children. Have you broadened your remit to address harassment, bullying and workplace injuries? We hope you will consider sharing Shattered with your church teams to foster empathy, raise awareness, and deepen understanding of the importance of supporting congregation members injured at work.P

The Story

The Shattered Documentary Series looks at social issues where the narrative construct has become dysfunctional and requires correction. Dated thoughts encourages dated thinking. Shattered presents lived and living human experiences for society and key decision stakeholders to reflect upon, inform thinking and where appropriate adjust policies, processes and systems to achieve fairer and more equitable social impact outcomes. 

Synopsis

For decades, the little understood system known as Workers' Compensation has been based on the politics and theatre of various  Governments and not human health. It is the same around the globe. Conceived in response to German Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck's 1800's social insurance which spread in one form or another around the globe today Workers' Compensation has become a finance system pretending to be health. It has neglected injured workers, otherwise more accurately known as patients, branding them as malingerers while perpetrating mental, physical, and economic abuse rooted in outdated principles of colonialism and sexism.  In short it harms rather than heals. It was even called Workmans' Insurance until the 1970's when it changed its name to Workers' Compensation to accomodate women. Join us in exploring their journey of restorative justice, healing and their demand for safer systems for all.

Community & Family Impact

After decades of failed reforms and outdated legislation, the Workers' Compensation System needs a fundamental change. Kathie Melocco, having experienced the system's failures firsthand, created a documentary to reveal its hidden harms.

 

"I used the skills I had to expose the needless suffering of thousands of injured workers," Kathie explains.

 

You can help by sharing this story in your community and family circles. Use the provided discussion guides to spark conversations about workplace safety and supporting those injured at work. The stigma, persecution and abuse of the injured and their families must end. This is a chance for community groups, families, and individuals to reflect on the impact of workplace injuries on people's lives.

 

By raising awareness, we can work towards a society that values workers' well-being and advocates for the largest population of un-represented Australians.. Remember, workplace injuries affect not just individuals, but entire families and communities.

 

Together, we can push for positive change. 

Connection and Care matters.
