Mining & FIFO Injury Claims In Queensland

Support When You’re Injured Far From Home

Mine sites run on heavy machinery, long shifts & tough conditions, often hundreds of kilometres from home. An injury on site can affect your health, income & time with family.

We’ll explain what you may be entitled to, wherever you’re based.

Self-Insured Mining Companies

Many large mining companies manage their own workers’ compensation claims rather than using WorkCover Queensland.

We’ll deal with the company’s claims team for you, so you’re not negotiating alone.

Contractors & Labour Hire On Site

Mine sites often involve several contractors, which can make it harder to know who is responsible.

We’ll identify every company that may be accountable for your injury.

Injuries At Camp Or In Transit

Injuries in site accommodation or while travelling to & from site may be covered, depending on the circumstances.

We’ll explain how your roster & travel arrangements affect your claim.

Get Advice Before Your Next Swing

Mining injury claims have strict time limits, and site records & witnesses can be harder to reach once crews rotate.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your time limits and help secure evidence from site.

Key Things To Know About Mining & FIFO Injury Claims

01

Report Injuries Before You Fly Out

Make sure your injury is reported & recorded on site before you leave.

It’s much harder to link an injury to work once you’re home. We’ll help even if it wasn’t recorded.

02

Your Full Earnings Matter

Mining wages, overtime & allowances can affect how your weekly payments & any common law claim are calculated.

We’ll check that your full earnings are taken into account.

03

Interstate FIFO Workers

If you live interstate but work in Queensland, the right scheme to claim under can depend on your circumstances.

We’ll help you work out where your claim belongs.

04

Time Limits Matter

Mining & FIFO injury claims involve strict deadlines & procedural requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.
