A mechanic will repay $96,196 to WorkSafe, after being caught working while receiving weekly payments from Victoria’s workers compensation scheme.
Muhammad Faisal, 38, pleaded guilty in the Werribee Magistrates Court last Monday to one charge of fraudulently obtaining payments after he injured his right arm and shoulder while working as a mechanic.
The court heard Faisal’s compensation claim was accepted by WorkSafe in June 2017 and he received weekly payments until November 2019.
An inspection of Faisal’s financial records later found that while receiving injury support, he performed multiple shifts, driving taxis for several different companies. He also worked as a ride-share driver.
