Information sheet: Whole person impairment

What it contains

On 31 March 2024 changes to Victoria’s WorkCover scheme will come into effect.

These changes will help make sure the WorkCover scheme can continue to support workers into the future.

Under these changes, there is now an additional requirement for workers to continue to receive weekly payments after the second entitlement period of 130 weeks. This requirement relates to whole person impairment (WPI).

These changes will only apply to claims that reach 130 weeks on or after 31 March 2024.

This information sheet contains general information on WPI. It includes:

• details about WPI and the second entitlement period review
• the WPI assessment
• support for those coming off weekly payments.
