Testimonials
Every person who is involved in the workers compensation system, from the makers of laws and policy to those in the administration of claims processes and any related stakeholder, including lawyers, NEEDS to watch this Moral Injury Training. Far too often lawyers in particular attend compulsory professional development courses that are a tick a box exercise for their yearly accreditation, but how often do they really attend meaningful and critical training that can make a REAL difference in their work such as this? Let's stop beating around the bush, the NSW Workers Compensation scheme is further harming, not helping, injured workers. Those who have not wised up to this fact are simply uneducated or in denial.

Thank you for creating one of the most honest and confronting portrayals of the workers compensation and return-to-work system in NSW. As a health professional with over 30 years of experience in this space, Shattered gave language and form to a layer of distress I have carried but could never articulate.
Watching this documentary was like holding a mirror to the work I’ve done for decades—highlighting the deep systemic issues that don’t just harm injured workers, but leave clinicians like me feeling morally compromised, professionally disillusioned, and emotionally exhausted.
I have always felt like I carried enormous responsibility with no authority, watching clients go around in circles while “client-centred care” was reduced to buzzwords that disappeared under the weight of regulatory interpretations and insurer limitations. Thank you for holding up the mirror so many of us have avoided. Your work is more than a documentary—it’s a catalyst.

There has been sufficient National Press coverage of the financial disaster ascribed to NSW SIRA/i-care system, but it is only through the Dramatisation of Kathie’s story that we get to understand how the polarisation of political factions and self-interest at any expense which has broken a system designed to support injured workers shattering so many lives.
Kathie’s story is the most appalling of all the stories I have heard arising from working in 4 different workers compensation jurisdictions over 35 years.

... Every single person with a stake in the scheme, needs to take action to prevent the continuation of this harm. To lawyers in particular - I am calling you all out, I was one of you. Drop your ego, watch this training with true purpose, and really think about whether your work in this domain is upholding the oath or affirmation you took when you were sworn in as a lawyer or whether your are treading dangerously close or in fact crossed that line with some those "Solicitors Rules" you are bound by working within this scheme. We all of course know about our duty to our client but ask yourself are you truly adhering to your overriding duty - to the Court - when you are conducting yourself either as a plaintiff or defendant lawyer in this system?

Hosting a recent podcast conversation on moral injury helped me begin to understand these experiences. But it was Shattered that made the full impact land. Every story in the documentary triggered memories of other clients, other cases, other moments where I swallowed my own distress in order to keep going. And the snowball of those memories has made one thing very clear:
It’s not us. It’s the system.
I strongly recommend that every person entering into any insurance-based return-to-work scheme—whether as a clinician, insurer, case manager, employer, or regulator—should be required to watch this documentary as part of their onboarding or ongoing supervision. This is an excellent use of our mandatory CPD. It’s time we stopped burning out our clinicians and started repairing some of the damage we’re doing—often through ignorance. And as the law reminds us, ignorance is no defence.

"As a nurse you encounter moral distress in our profession. Life and death decisions are made everyday. But nothing prepares you for the cruel workers compensation system. This must watch and learn from moral injury training is a wake up call to employers to stop the harm.
The organisational injustice and betrayal you experience whilst injured and within this system will astonish you. Health is a basic human right. How has cruelty experienced by so many been hidden for so long?"

... The disgraceful, unethical and down right inhumane tactics I have experienced within the administration of my claim calls into question this very overriding duty - to not mislead a Court. Law used to be a proud profession based on procedural fairness and justice. Right now in workers compensation and personal injury law, it seems it is based on who can play the dirtiest game for the longest time. Now is the time to course correct, let's not continue to harm but instead really wake up and be⁸ conscious of the true suffering that is occurring within the workers compensation system. Wake up and let's not repeat the same mistakes with future generations.
