WORKERS COMPENSATION
When to Claim?

Benefits are payable when a worker suffers an injury or contracts a disease which arises out of, or in the course of, their employment where the employment is a substantial contributing factor.

Workers compensation benefits may also be payable for injuries received on a normal journey to or from work (without significant interruption or diversion) or during an authorised recess, providing the worker did not expose themselves to any abnormal risk of injury.
