Support For Those Who Care For Others
Every shift, you lift, turn & support patients who rely on you. When you’re the one who’s hurt, stepping back from work can feel hard, both financially & emotionally.
If you’ve been injured at work, we’ll look after the legal side so you can focus on your recovery.
Lifting, repositioning & transferring patients can cause serious back & shoulder injuries, especially without the right equipment.
Before you pursue any further claim, we’ll assess whether safe handling practices were in place.
Healthcare workers often face aggression from patients or visitors, which can cause both physical & psychological harm.
We’ll show WorkCover the full toll the incident has taken, in body & mind.
A needlestick or exposure to bodily fluids can bring weeks of testing & uncertainty.
We’ll explain what your claim may cover, including medical tests & treatment.
Healthcare injury claims have strict time limits, and incident reports are easier to complete while the details are clear.
