WorkCover is a form of insurance available for employees that are injured at work or travelling to work. It is a ‘no fault’ scheme so despite who or what caused the injury it allows Queensland workers to make a claim and access benefits in the event that they sustain a work-related injury.

What is considered an injury?

• Physical injuries including aggravations of pre-existing conditions;
• Psychiatric or psychological disorders;
• Diseases; and
• Death from injury or disease.

What benefits and compensation can I access while on WorkCover?

•  Weekly compensation for lost wages;
• Surgical and hospital expenses;
•  Medicines essential for recovery;
•  Rehabilitation treatment and equipment; and
• Travelling expenses for medical treatment, rehabilitation etc.

I have been injured at work what do I now?

• See your Doctor and obtain a workers’ compensation medical certificate.
•  Inform your employer and provide them with a copy of the medical certificate.
•  Lodge your claim with WorkCover. At this stage, we can provide you with a detailed explanation of the process, the best way to approach it and explain what your options are going forward.
