Statutory claims

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. Lodge a claim here.

Common law claims

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
