WORKERS COMPENSATION
Who is Eligible to Claim?

Anyone who is a “worker” or “deemed worker” under the Act, is eligible to lodge a compensation claim. Lodging a claim does not imply any commitment to the acceptance of the claim or of liability.

A worker includes:

• Those who work for an employer, under an oral or written contract of service or apprenticeship
• ‘deemed’ workers
• full-time, part-time or casual workers
