An injury on duty claim must be submitted within seven days from the date of the accident, and the employee must visit a doctor within 48 hours from the date of the accident.
If the claim isn’t loaded within seven days, a late report claim will have to be completed and submitted. Compensation can be claimed for an injury at work or disease contracted at work.
The employees who are eligible to claim are both permanent and casual employees and includes trainees and workers paid by a labour agency.
Workmen’s Compensation will not pay out employees who have been working overseas for more than 12 months at a time or employees who were outsourced when the injury happened, or disease was contracted.
