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.

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

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.
