Who is Eligible:
The Western Australian workers compensation and injury management scheme is designed to help workers return to work successfully following a work-related injury or illness.
Under the scheme, workers are compensated for lost wages, medical expenses and associated costs while they are unable to work.
Most injuries that occur on the job are covered by workers compensation insurance, including accidents and illnesses caused by exposure to work activities, materials and equipment.
If you are unsure if your accident or injury qualifies, please speak to your employer or insurer. Please Visit Workcover website for more information on your rights & procedures: Injured at work: https://www.workcover.wa.gov.au/workers/

You will require a longer appointment with a GP to assess your accident or injury & create a Initial or FIRST Workers Compensation Certificate.

Once we have received the claim details mentioned above, all future consultation PROGRESS Workers Compensation consultation invoices will be sent directly to the insurer until the cessation of your claim when a FINAL Workers Compensation Certificate could have been issued.
To ensure continuity of care, it is important that you continue to visit your usual GP for your initial/ First workers compensation appointment and any ongoing review of your workers compensation claim.
