Over the past year across roughly 190 school days, teachers have filed 320 WorkCover claims where they were injured by assault or exposure to occupational violence.
Queensland’s Shadow Minister for Education Dr Christian Rowan has said the government is “losing control of safety in Queensland state schools”.“The number of teachers being assaulted in our state schools is truly shocking.

The Queensland Education Minister Grace Grace replied by saying workplace safety was a “key priority”. “Staff are also supported by the Occupational Violence Prevention Procedure, which provides guidance to schools on steps to prevent and minimise the risk of occupational violence.”
