What is it?
While some occupations and industries have a higher risk of workplace incidents and/or fatalities than others, Workers’ Compensation is compulsory for all Australian employers. It provides financial compensation to workers if they suffer a work-related injury or illness.
What does it cover?
Whether part-time, full-time or casual employees, everyone can expect to receive a range of benefits, and frequently financial compensation, if they suffer an injury or contract a disease due to their employment. These benefits can include weekly payments, as well as hospital and medical expenses, and rehabilitation services.
