Want to feel truly valued in your role and help provide an essential service? the Workplace Injury Commission is for you
There’s no time to be bored at the Workplace Injury Commission. Just ask Zeena Haidar, our committed Finance Business Partner. For Zeena, being involved in all areas of our organisation keeps her engaged. Born and raised in Melbourne, this enthusiastic finance whiz is also connected to the purpose of the Workplace Injury Commission, and wants to help make her city a better place. With a great deal of support and true friendships with her colleagues, here’s why Zeena is passionate about turning our proud legacy into a bright future.
Knowing her efforts count
Zeena Haidar only chooses to work for an organisation if they’re in the business of helping people. With an impressive resume of past experiences, Zeena was searching for a place where her accounting and business management skills would be valued. But above everything, she wanted to walk into the office each day knowing it would improve her hometown of Melbourne. At the Workplace Injury Commission, Zeena found both.
“I feel that I play an important role in how the organisation operates”, Zeena says. “I help to provide information to the leadership team about our finances to ensure we’re making the right decisions. I choose to be part of an organisation that is providing a service to society. That’s why the Workplace Injury Commission is right for me.”
As Finance Business Partner, Zeena isn’t directly involved in the conciliation process - but you don’t have to be to find purpose at the Workplace Injury Commission. Whether you’re working directly on disputes or enabling us behind the scenes, Zeena says everyone is passionate about helping Victorians find a way forward. The best bit? She has a deep understanding of all areas of the organisation.
“One of the best parts of working for the Workplace Injury Commission is that I have exposure to the whole finance department, for example. In other organisations you could be pigeonholed and only be a small part of the larger world of finance, but at the Workplace Injury Commission, it’s not like that. I am involved in everything, right from processing invoices to making sure we are complying with legislation. I find that really interesting.”

“Even with many changes, I'm really proud that our team has always been able to deliver. I feel like I’ve made a huge contribution to the Workplace Injury Commission in terms of shaping the Finance Department, and as we introduce arbitration, it’s an exciting time.”
