Employer home
A WorkCover Queensland accident insurance policy covers you for the costs associated with compensating your workers who sustain a work-related injury or illness. The policy is compulsory if you employ workers in Queensland.
A 'no fault' workers compensation scheme means that Queensland workers have the right to apply for statutory benefits, no matter who or what caused their workplace injury.
Workers can also seek common law damages in addition to statutory benefits; however workers must be able to prove the employer was either negligent or did not meet other requirements imposed on them to prevent the injury.
