Answer

The report and its findings are currently under consideration. Schedule 2 is required to be reviewed every five years, and I expect the next review to begin in the next parliamentary term. Individuals can still lodge an ACC claim if they believe they have been affected by exposure to PCP and ACC will consider cover where appropriate.
