What is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation provides financial assistance if you’ve been injured or become ill as a result of your work, including while travelling to or from your workplace. It can cover medical and rehabilitation expenses, part of your lost income, and other related costs.
After your initial statutory claim, you may also be entitled to a lump sum payment or have the option to pursue a common law claim for damages if your injury was caused by employer negligence. These claims are generally managed by WorkCover Queensland or a self-insurer, depending on your employer’s arrangements.
Who Can Make a Claim?
In Queensland, the following workers may be eligible to make a workers’ compensation claim:
- Full-time and part-time employees
- Casual workers
Certain subcontractors, depending on their work arrangements
Employer Responsibilities
All employers are legally required to maintain a safe workplace and hold valid workers’ compensation insurance. Most claims are managed through WorkCover Queensland, although some large employers such as Coles, Woolworths, and Glencore operate under self-insurer arrangements and manage claims directly.
Injuries and Conditions That May Be Covered
You may be eligible to claim compensation for a wide range of work-related injuries and illnesses, including:
- Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Psychological injuries caused by workplace bullying, stress, or harassment
- Occupational illnesses from chemical or dust exposure
- Serious physical injuries such as burns, crush injuries, amputations, or brain trauma resulting from falls, equipment failure, or unsafe work practices
Rin Kim Law ensures your claim is managed correctly from start to finish, providing the legal support you need to focus on recovery and achieving a fair outcome.
