Australian Tribunal: Chemical Sensitivity Not An 'Injury' But Employee's Claim Gets Up
Flood and Comcare (Compensation) [2020] AATA 2152.
Key Points:
- The Tribunal considered whether a Centrelink employee was entitled to receive ongoing compensation for multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome.
- The Tribunal found that multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome is not commonly accepted as a medical condition and instead concluded that Ms Flood suffers from a psychological condition.
- Despite the change in diagnosis, the Tribunal ultimately found in favour of Ms Flood.
