Workers Compensation

If you suffer an injury or contract an illness or disease at work, then you may be covered by workers compensation.

Workers Compensation is available to all employees whether they are full-timers, part-timers, casuals or trainees.

To be covered by Workers Compensation you must do the following no matter what the nature of the injury or illness is.

• Report the injury/illness to your manager or supervisor as soon as possible after the accident.
• Fill in an accident or incident report immediately.
• If you are required to see a doctor then clearly state to that your visit is for Workers Compensation so they can file the correct documentation.

Members are free to contact the SDA for any advise when dealing with their Workers Compensation claim. The Union have experienced staff available to assist you with your Workers Compensation claim and can also provide members with legal representation if necessary.
