For prescribed workers · the prevention pack
Worker’s Rights Kit
Last verified:
The case database is brutal about one thing: workers lose over how the prescription was handled, almost never over the prescription itself. This kit is the handling manual — seven documents that cost less than ten minutes of a lawyer’s time.
The 7 documents
- Know-your-rights guide. Disclosure duties, privacy limits, discrimination and adverse action basics, the breach-simpliciter reality from Toms and Hilder, and the safety valve Gauci shows was available all along.
- Disclosure letter template. Discloses what the policy requires — including THC content — without handing over your diagnosis or medical history. The exact gap that decided Mills, closed in three paragraphs.
- Prescriber consultation sheet + draft fitness letter. The questions to take to your doctor and a ready-made skeleton of the fitness-for-duties letter they can adapt — because the single strongest document in your file is one your doctor rarely knows how to write unprompted.
- Post-test 48-hour checklist. Confirmatory testing, what to put in writing, what never to sign, and the standards-mismatch question that unravelled a mine’s testing program in 2025.
- Evidence diary template. A dated log of conversations, documents and test paperwork — the file your lawyer wishes every client had started on day one.
- Assessment meeting script. What to say in the fitness-for-work meeting: offering dosing-timing arrangements, asking for the working arrangement in writing, and the phrases that read as cooperation rather than confession.
- The 21-day timeline card. The unfair dismissal clock, day by day, deadline by deadline.

Sample — from the draft fitness letter (document 3):
“[Patient] is prescribed [product class] under my care. Having reviewed the requirements of their role as [role], including [machinery operation / driving / shift pattern], I consider them fit to perform those duties, subject to the dosing schedule we have agreed: administration [timing], providing an interval of at least [x] hours before rostered duties. I am available, with my patient’s consent, to answer fitness-for-work questions related to these duties.”
