Who can make a Workers’ Compensation Claim?

In Queensland, all employers must have workers’ compensation insurance to protect their workers in case of workplace accidents. You may be eligible to file a workers’ compensation claim if you’ve been injured or become ill due to your work.

Who Can Make a Claim?

You can make a WorkCover Queensland claim if you’re:

  • Employed full-time
  • Employed part-time
  • Employed on a casual basis
  • A volunteer
  • Participating in work experience

Even if you believe you’ve been engaged as a contractor, you might still be eligible to make a claim.

Eligible Occupations

Your occupation doesn’t limit your ability to claim workers’ compensation in Queensland. Eligible workers may be employed in various industries, including but not limited to:

  • Community and personal service
  • Trade or technical industries
  • Retail or sales
  • Accommodation or hospitality
  • Agriculture, forestry, and fishing
  • Transport and delivery

Regardless of your industry, if you’re injured or fall ill because of your work, you may be eligible to make a WorkCover Queensland claim. Your rights remain the same across all sectors.
