Workers Compensation is a system that provides income and medical care to workers who are injured or become ill because of their work. It is a form of social insurance provided by the government, which subsidises the losses faced by people who are injured at work.

The workers compensation system in NSW covers all employees in NSW including full-time, part-time, casual and self-employed people.

Yes, worker’s compensation and WorkCover refer to the same thing, but it’s important to note that WorkCover was the former name for the workers’ compensation scheme in New South Wales.

Over time, the terminology has evolved, and now it is commonly known as workers’ compensation across Australia. The workers’ compensation system provides financial and medical benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses.

So, whether you hear it referred to as workers’ compensation or WorkCover, it explains the same program designed to protect and support workers in case of work-related incidents.

 

If you sustain an injury or develop an illness at work, it’s crucial to take immediate action. 

Firstly, seek medical attention promptly for your well-being and to document the details of your condition. 

Next, report the incident to your employer as soon as possible, ensuring they are aware of the situation. Your employer should provide you with the necessary paperwork to initiate a workers’ compensation claim. It’s essential to complete and submit this claim accurately and within the specified timeframe. 

Additionally, consider consulting with a workers’ compensation lawyer like McDonnell Schroder, who can guide you through the process, protect your rights, and ensure you receive the full compensation and benefits you are entitled to under the law.

In New South Wales, workers’ compensation covers a range of injuries that occur in the course of employment. This includes, but is not limited to:
