What is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation provides financial assistance if you’ve been injured or become unwell due to your work, including while travelling to or from work. It can cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and a portion of your lost wages. If your injury was caused by employer negligence, you may also be able to pursue a common law claim for damages, handled by WorkCover Queensland or a self-insurer in the case of some large employers.
Who Can Make a Claim?
In Queensland, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation if you are:
- A full-time or part-time employee
- A casual worker
A subcontractor, depending on your work arrangements
Employer Responsibilities
Employers must provide a safe workplace and hold valid workers’ compensation insurance. Most claims are managed through WorkCover Queensland, though some larger employers (e.g. Coles, Woolworths, Glencore) use self-insurer arrangements.
Injuries and Conditions That May Be Covered
You may be able to claim compensation for:
- Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Psychological injuries caused by bullying, stress, or harassment
- Occupational illnesses from exposure to dust or chemicals
- Major physical injuries such as burns, amputations, crush injuries, brain injuries, or those caused by falls, collapsing structures, or unsafe equipment
Rin Kim Law will help ensure your claim is handled correctly, so you can focus on your recovery while we take care of the legal side.
