Do I Have a Workers Compensation Claim in Quinns Rocks?
In Western Australia, workers compensation claimants usually need not prove anyone was at fault. What matters most is whether you work for someone and whether the injury is a result of that work. Most employees are covered, whatever their hours, while contractors are assessed on how their arrangement actually works. Your own situation will decide the answer.
A claim may well be open if:
- An accident while doing your job caused your injury.
- Repeated tasks over many months have strained your body.
- Your work led to a physical or psychological condition.
- You need medical help, time off or both now.
Agency, labour hire and family-business arrangements can blur who the employer is. If this is you, tell us what you know, and we will work out how the scheme applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everyday practical questions often arise once a claim begins, from skin conditions and eye injuries to prescriptions and paperwork. These answers explain what to do, what to keep, and when to seek advice from us.
Skin conditions such as dermatitis may be compensable where work exposure contributed to them. See a doctor, photograph flare-ups, and keep a list of products, gloves, and cleaning agents you use.
Seek urgent medical care first, then report the incident. Keep the protective eyewear or equipment involved, note what hit or entered your eye, and ask your doctor to record the details.
Reasonable costs of medication prescribed after an injury at work may be covered. Keep receipts and prescriptions, note the dates, and confirm with the insurer how repeat or expensive scripts will be handled.
Keep claim papers until the claim is fully finalised and for some time afterwards, because questions can arise later. Scan everything, back it up, and store originals somewhere safe and dry.
Hand or wrist injuries from tools, vibration, or repetitive gripping can be claimed where work contributed. Report early and tell your doctor which tools you use and how long you use them.
