On 22 May 2020, I did what the employment lawyer advised me to do. I submitted a certificate of capacity.
The truth is, I was just following literal instructions without knowing how any of this “process” worked. No one explained what my entitlements were, or what the compliance “process” should have been. Some assumed I knew, others deliberately withheld information.
A week later, Catholic Church Insurance provided a claim number. The administrative officer at CCI had a pretty logo at the end of the email address, with a fancy slogan, that’s proven to be complete bullshit.
The slogan : Catholic Church Insurance - Investing in a bright future.
Whose bright future?
Would the corporate board of directors of Catholic Church Insurance care to answer this question:
What do they mean with the slogan about Catholic Church Insurance “investing in a bright future”?
They know what they’ve done and readers of my blog will find out too. Such false statements. More like Destroying and Defrauding one’s Future. Make a Claim if you Dare.
On 29 May 2020, I started communicating with the one ethical person in this entire systemic nightmare - the Claims Specialist / Case Manager as per Injury Management Plan.
To quote in my email reply to this good person in our uncivil Australian society:
“There’s no need to copy [my lawyer] from JFMLaw. This issue became so serious I called my GP to apply for WorkCover as also advised by the lawyer. She has locked the case for now, and, to be honest, I don’t want to go down legal paths again to assert my human rights, dignity and to feel some form of validation.
All I requested was a safe environment to continue my work. What I was put through was the opposite of what I believe could have been a simple resolution fair for all.”
Some of what I wrote, I had know idea what it meant, eg. The employment lawyer having “locked the case for now”. I was parroting what the employment lawyer said to me, while I was kicked around like a soccer ball between employment lawyers and a corrupt worker compensation “scheme” (as I’d learn on my own). I had no idea what the fuck was going on.
If CCI were smart enough to comply with workers compensation regulations AND WHS regulations as a self-insurer, and NOT agree to collude in the crime of fraud as adverse action, that would be a true application of “risk assessment”.
This is all they needed to do: Firstly, keep Rena Christmann away from me and my family, along with any friends in HR and Clayton Utz, who were part of a white collar mob committing offences to abuse innocent people.
Secondly, cooperate with me and my NTD to implement the agreed legally binding injury management plan. But the CEO and corporate board of directors of Catholic Church Insurance, including their own legal counsel on the board, chose collusion in this crime instead.
The illegal adverse action for requesting workplace rights generally protected under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), were the most immoral and diabolical repeated incidents of harm one could imagine.
Now it is a human rights issue. What should have happened in compliance in 2020, will happen in 2025. However, there will be a huge difference in the financial cost in restitution for the financial abuse inflicted as adverse action.
CCI should have complied and ensured my workplace right to recover in my work, with a safe work environment provided by ACU, in 2020. It will happen in 2025. I will “assert my human rights” as I wrote in my initial email to the wonderful case manager I was assigned, before she was removed and never replaced.
That’s respect and dignity in the workplace: by complying with regulations, and not allowing the cause of my claim to continue abusing me and my family, under WHS and workers compensation regulations.
At the same time as the claim, I joined the National Tertiary Education Union. The workers compensation claim was a co-existing issue with my union membership. Readers, keep this in mind as I continue my story.
This blog post is based on documents 55-57. I’m bypassing documents 53-54. All I’ll say is, not long after I submitted the first certificate of capacity, I relived the trauma of the night I’ve already written about (see http://mystory-myvoice.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-night-i-lost-my-dad-to-suicide.html). Luckily, it was a perceived threat that wasn’t real. A compassionate and trauma-informed employer (I’m referring to the vice-chancellors both former and current), would know this, and not use it to cause greater harm in a psychopathic way, especially when the university IDENTITY and MISSION is the extreme opposite of such reckless conduct with intent to cause harm.
This was caused by bullying from leaders at the “Catholic university”, as is written on the police event report. That’s all I’ll say, because like every human being, we have a human right to our privacy. And we have a right for our university “leaders” to not harass us relentlessly, anywhere and everywhere, to intentionally violate our safety and cause harm. This is even more important when the perpetrator engaging in harassment and workplace abuse is the national manager of employment relations and SAFETY, the now named R. Christmann, as per previous post (http://mystory-myvoice.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-unfair-work-commission-denying.html).
Just when I needed my colleagues as my support network to recover in my job, as per compliance under workers compensation regulations, I was denied yet another human right. Rena Christmann even dared to order me, via my employment lawyer, not to make contact with my colleagues. The “tactic” of social isolation, victimisation and ostracism became worse initiated by this cause of my claim, under workers compensation. I demanded her to stop. She didn’t, but the senior executive group allowed her to be reckless.
It makes me angry and sick, however, that my legal representative, who just advised me to make a claim because “it’s not worth your health”, was negligent in picking up on this gross misconduct, and proceeded to inform me of this unlawful request. I was now under workers compensation regulations. I had a right to contact with my colleagues and to safely recover in my job. Who were JFMLAW/ Andreyev ultimately representing, because it wasn’t me, their actual client. Or was it all professional negligence.
The whole reason we got to this point was because of Rena Christmann. It is this individual who I demanded to stay away from me and my family, so I recovered safely in my job, with the support of my colleagues. I say it here, because no one protected me from the continuation of stalking and relentless harassment from a psychopath like that, and no one in any organisation should be subjected to that kind of reckless and wilful misconduct with intent to cause harm.
What should have happened then, will happen now, in 2025.
And while we’re reviewing slogans in email signatures, let’s compare the one below to the abuse, discrimination and harassment being inflicted on me. My employer has a WHS legal obligation to ensure a safe work environment with zero tolerance for discrimination, harassment and psychological violence.
