Sorry things are tough atm @barbie
Somehow your post slipped through the cracks a bit.
I know @utopia and @Zoe7 are on leave and may be able to relate. I am more at the retirement end.
Take Care

Hi @barbie. Yes I went on stress leave. Initially it was for 3 weeks. Then I went back to work for 2 days. It didn't work out. So back on stress leave and then Workcover.
How has your employer been? Have they acknowledged your stress? If it's workplace related, are they looking into rectifying those things that led to your stress?
Thanks @Appleblossom for the tag

Oh @barbie That is an added complication and would really add to your stress.
I would start looking around for alternatives but not act until you are more certain what the legal situation is.

@barbie - even while you're on WorkCover - you are still classed as an employee of that company. So my guess is that you keep living in the house.
But if you talk to your union they maybe able to advise you, based on what your contract states.

Re: what does my future hold so worried
Hi Barbie , sorry to read your on stress leave and hope whatever is causing it soon resolves itself. As to your statement about stress leave , yes , I have been on stress leave but would not recommend going through this course .If stress is not work related , than hopefully you will have an understanding employer and may be able to extend it . If it is work related , and you are seeking compensation , then you are going to find it just as stressful as the stress that you originally suffered from. I was employed in the state public service and the supposed assistance I got offered was used against me in a medical tribunal . I did win my case , having a union solicitor and only after threatening to go public about how supportive the union was in helping their members but not member against a employer barrister. Good documentation , well kept records , support of a psychiastrist and a good case assisted in my claim .. however I was medically retired on the grounds of being unfit for duty.. another case settled out of court for unfair dismissal . Think twice about your circumstances . Wish you well .
