The Asbestos Related Diseases Compensation Scheme introduced by the Tasmanian Government in October 2011 has been hailed as a success by the Government.
The Minister for Workplace Relations announced on 2 May 2012 that the scheme has paid out almost $3 million to 8 separate applicants.
The scheme has helped persons suffering asbestos related conditions such as mesothelioma obtain compensation.
Compensation for those suffering mesothelioma has been made easier by this “no fault” compensation scheme.
