Firefighters put their health at risk to protect us, so it is very important that we provide protection for them.
However, it is almost impossible for firefighters to access WorkCover compensation and insurance if they get cancer from exposure to toxic chemicals and smoke on the job. This is less protection against workplace injury and illness than the average worker, yet firefighters risk their health and life to protect the community.
The Greens want to change this and you can help us achieve it. Sign the petition: http://fairgoforfirefighters.org/
Greens MP Colleen Hartland has a new law to compensate firefighters for work-related cancers and has called for all MPs to work together across party lines to see the legislation through Victorian Parliament.
