A claim for workers compensation should be made as soon as possible following an injury, or within 6 months of the injury, accident or death. If you missed the initial deadline for valid reasons, it’s possible to make a claim up to three years from the date of injury.
Timing matters when it comes to claiming workers comp. Lodging your claim sooner rather than later means getting the right support for your recovery.
Choosing the right work rehab provider ensures your rehabilitation needs are met.
To switch your rehab provider, your insurer needs documentation explaining the reasons for the new choice.
After sending this to the insurer, share a copy of the documentation with your employer and AusRehab. Our team will then contact the insurer.
If the insurer doesn’t approve the change, you can raise the issue with SafeWork NSW at 13 10 50.
A Certificate of Capacity (COC) is a medical certificate that outlines your injury or illness, capacity for work, and the treatment required for your recovery.
It’s a document that serves as a communication tool between everyone involved in your recovery—including your employer, insurer, and medical providers.
A Return to Work (RTW) plan is a structured approach designed to help an injured or ill employee transition back to their job safely and effectively.
This plan outlines specific steps, accommodations, and timelines tailored to the employee’s health needs and job requirements.
It’s typically developed collaboratively by the employer, employee, medical professionals, and, where relevant, a work rehab provider.
An employer cannot ask about past workers comp claims, but they can inquire if you have an injury or medical condition affecting your ability to work.
While on workers compensation, there are various SIRA-supported pathways for you to return to work as safely and effectively as possible.
