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.
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.
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 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.
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.
