A WorkCover Claim is when an injured worker claims financial compensation under the WorkCover scheme relating to an injury that they’ve suffered whilst they were at work.
Employers have a compulsory duty to register for WorkCover Insurance to protect themselves against potential compensation claims for work-related injuries and diseases.
