WorkCover Queensland is important because it provides a safety net for workers who are injured or become ill due to their work. Without workers’ compensation, many injured workers could face medical bills and loss of income at the same time they are unable to work.
Some of the main benefits for workers include:
- Income support – If an accepted injury prevents you from working, WorkCover can provide wage replacement payments to help cover lost earnings.
- Medical treatment coverage – It can pay for reasonable medical expenses such as doctor visits, hospital treatment, medications, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation.
- Rehabilitation and recovery support – WorkCover helps workers access services and programs that assist their recovery and return to work.
- Return-to-work assistance – It works with workers, employers, and healthcare providers to support a safe return to suitable duties when possible.
- Financial protection – Workers generally do not have to pay the costs associated with an accepted work-related injury claim themselves.
- Access to compensation rights – In some cases, workers may be entitled to additional compensation through a common law claim if their injury was caused by negligence. (WorkSafe Queensland)
WorkCover Queensland also benefits workplaces more broadly by encouraging injury management and helping injured workers stay connected to employment where appropriate.
