Suffering an injury at work can have a profound impact on your life. The physical, emotional and financial toll on you and your family adds up. But help is available. Shine Lawyers' workers compensation experts are here to guide you through the legal process, and help get you back on your feet.
In Victoria, all employers are required to insure their staff against workplace accidents. If you sustain a workplace injury - whether you're part-time, full-time or casual - you can bring a claim for workers compensation with WorkSafe.
WorkSafe - Workers compensation
In Victoria, all workers compensation and WorkCover matters are handled by the government body WorkSafe.
WorkSafe covers a variety of work-related injuries, both physical and psychological. These include:
- Injuries suffered at work
- Injuries suffered travelling for work, and
- Any disease or condition made worse by work.
WorkSafe's compensation will include weekly payments to cover you for lost income while you're unable to work. You'll also be covered for any reasonable medical expenses, such as doctors' appointments, medication and physio.
Bringing a claim with WorkSafe isn't always simple, and strict time limits apply. That's why it's important to seek advice from a workers compensation expert before you bring a claim.
