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/
Understanding all your workers compensation and injury management rights, obligations and entitlements will help you navigate your way to a suitable resolution following an injury or illness in the workplace https://www.workcover.wa.gov.au/workers/understanding-your-rights-obligations-entitlements/
You will require a longer appointment with a GP to assess your accident or injury & create a Initial or FIRST Workers Compensation Certificate. This appointment will incur a private out of pocket fee to the patient. This consultation should be fully reimbursed to you by either your employer or insurer upon the acceptance of your claim.
Once accepted, you will receive a unique claim number that you must bring along toyour next appointment, along with the contact details of your insurance company.
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.
Workers’ compensation appointments will need longer appointments times due to the complexity of the process involved in Facilitating the care.
