Workers compensation including Comcare

In South Australia most workers' entitlements to compensation for workplace injuries are governed by the Workers' Rehabilitation and Compensation Act. We advise and represent workers on all aspects of their entitlements to workers compensation including:

• "Stress claims"
• Average weekly earnings and overtime
• Rehabilitation
• Medical expenses
• Compensation for permanent disability under section 43
• Redemption under section 42

Some employees' entitlements to workers compensation are governed by federal legislation, the Safety Rehabilitation and Compensation Act. We also advise and represent workers in relation to their entitlements under that Act.

We also act in claims for damages for injuries sustained at work, often called "common law" claims. Generally in South Australia it is no longer possible to pursue such claims against the injured person's employer, but such claims still may be made against third parties.
