If you have been injured at work or you believe your work may have contributed to an injury or disease then you may be entitled to compensation. To see if you are eligible for compensation or if have a viable claim, contact one of our workers compensation lawyers.
The Commonwealth of Australia has maintained workers compensation schemes for more than a century, providing different compensation schemes for each state / territories.
These no-fault statutory compensation schemes provide financial benefits to employees injured / make worse an existing injury in the course of employment, ranging from weekly payments to lump sum compensation as well as being compensated for payment of medical and associated expenses. The best way to maximize your compensation claim benefits is to speak with one of our workers compensation lawyers.
Although each compensation scheme has the same purpose, there are substantial differences in details, including the rules of eligibility and the levels of compensation available, and most compensation schemes have changed significantly over the years. The compensation that you are entitled to will depend on the state or territory where the injury or disease occurred and the date on which you were injured.
