Workers' compensation is aimed at supporting workers who are injured (physical and psychological injuries), aggravate an existing condition, or otherwise become ill (e.g., dust diseases) while performing their work duties. Every Australian worker should be covered by workers' compensation.
In Queensland, injured workers are entitled to a range of benefits and compensation under the specific state-based compensation scheme or the federal Comcare scheme. The scheme that applies to a particular injured worker will depend mainly on who the worker’s employer is and where they are based for the purposes of their employment.
In addition to any statutory benefits (called a ‘no-fault’ claim), workers who are injured due to the negligence of another person or entity may also be entitled to workers' compensation common law damages.
