Do I Have a Workers Compensation Claim in Huntingdale?
Western Australia’s scheme pays compensation without requiring anyone to be at fault. Instead, eligibility depends on whether you are a worker and whether your injury has a genuine link to your work. Employees on most kinds of contracts are covered, while contractors may qualify, depending on the real nature of the arrangement. The facts decide each case.
A claim could well be available if:
- An incident at work has left you injured.
- Months of repeated movement have gradually worn you down.
- Your job helped cause a physical or mental injury.
- Treatment, a break from work or both are now necessary.
If your working arrangement is unusual, such as shared roles, labour hire or a family business, say so when contacting us. We will check how the scheme applies to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about vehicle accidents, machinery injuries, chemical exposure, unfit certificates, and working across multiple sites.
An accident while driving for work may be compensable whoever was at fault. Get medical help, report it to your employer and, where required, the police, and keep details of the other drivers.
An injury caused by machinery or equipment can be claimed. Report it, note the equipment involved and any fault or missing guards, and keep photos if safe; faults may also raise other options.
Illness or injury from chemical exposure may be compensable where work contributed to it. Seek medical care, report the exposure, and keep product names and notes on how often you were exposed.
Unfit for all duties means your doctor has certified that you cannot currently work. Follow the certificate, keep certificates up to date, and ask the insurer how your income payments will be handled.
Let your employer know about the injury, noting which site, supervisor, and task were involved. The site operator may also need to know, so ask your employer who should be told as well.
