WORKERS' COMPENSATION ADVICE

If you suffer an injury or disease which is caused, aggravated, exacerbated or accelerated by the work you do, the workers’ compensation system providesbenefits to compensate for the injury or illness. Workers’ compensation benefits are available to all employees whether they are full-timers, part-timers or  casuals, managers or trainees.

Under no circumstances should you accept allegations that you are not entitled to workers’ compensation for one reason or another. Laws relating to workers’ compensation are very complicated. At no cost to members, the SDA’s experts can help you make and process your workers’ compensation claim.

SDA MEMBERS: You are entitled to free workers’ compensation support and advice.

For more information about workers’ compensation, members can contact their workplace Delegate, Union Organiser or the SDA Info Centre.
