Get Your No-Obligation Workers' Compensation Consult

If you’ve been injured or developed an illness at work – regardless of who was at fault – you may be eligible to claim through your super or insurance policies.

We offer No Win, No Fee* services, which means you don’t have to pay unless we get you a successful outcome.

What can I claim for?

Here are some of the common injuries we’ve helped clients secure their compensation entitlements for: 

  • Head and brain injury 

  • Soft tissue injury 

  • Lifting injuries 

  • Psychiatric injuries including PTSD, anxiety and depression 

  • Upper and lower limb injury

No Win, No Fee* 

Your access to justice is important to us and that’s why we offer our workers’ compensation legal services on a No Win, No Fee* basis.  

This means, if we don’t win your case, you don’t pay our legal fees.

If you choose not to proceed with the claim, the initial consultation is free. 

Worker's compensation claim process 

Document and report your injury or illness to your employer 

It’s important to immediately inform your employer in writing about your work-related injury and keep any information and documentation.

Seek medical treatment

Make a doctor's appointment – preferably with your personal doctor – and explain what has happened at work. It’s important the doctor documents everything thoroughly and accurately.  

Phase 1: Lodge a statutory workers' compensation claim

This involves lodging your claim online with WorkCover QLD. You can make a claim for any injuries or illness related to your employment.

Phase 2: Submit a common law claim for compensation  

Once your statutory claim has finalised, we will work with you to ensure your common law claim (when your employer is at fault) form is submitted correctly and in line with the strict time limitations.

We’ll build your claim and keep you informed

We will work with you to gather all the documentation and medical evidence required to support your claim. You focus on your recovery and rehabilitation, and we’ll take care of the rest whilst always keeping you in the loop. Once our investigations are complete, we will advise you of the best way forward

Resolve your case

If your claim is successful, you will receive the compensation you deserve, so you can focus on your future.

Let's talk

Provide your details and one of our friendly Client Care team members will be in touch to listen and understand your situation.
