Injury Claims For Nurses & Healthcare Workers In Queensland

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.

Patient Handling Injuries

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.

Aggression & Violence At Work

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.

Needlestick & Exposure Injuries

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.

Report Incidents Before Your Next Shift

Healthcare injury claims have strict time limits, and incident reports are easier to complete while the details are clear.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your time limits and explain your next steps.
