Workers Compensation

Have you been injured at work?

You never really expect that you will be hurt at work. But what happens if you are? There are things you need to know which may affect the outcome of any claim you might have.

 
Important Facts 
  • You have 6 months from the time you were injured to lodge an application for Workcover benefits.
  • If you don’t lodge within the required time, Workcover has the discretion to accept a claim if the circumstances justify it.
  • Any claim for damages must be brought within 3 years of the date of injury.
Free Initial Consultation
It is important to get the right advice so if you have suffered a work related injury and you think you might be entitled to make a claim call us for a free initial consultation. We will be able to give you an overview of the system and determine whether you may have a legitimate claim.
