Do I Have a Workers Compensation Claim in Tapping?
Claims in Western Australia do not hinge on blame. Instead, the scheme looks at whether you work for someone else in a way that counts and whether the injury arose out of that work. It applies to most employees, whether full-time, part-time or casual. Contractors are assessed individually. The details of your situation will settle the answer.
You might be able to claim if:
- Something went wrong at work, and you were hurt.
- Pain has crept up from doing the same tasks daily.
- A physical or psychological injury is linked to your job.
- You need treatment, time off, or both.
Many workers are unsure where they fit, particularly in casual, agency or seasonal roles. If that is you, contact us so your position can be checked before anything is lost.

No Win, No Fee Support for Tapping Workers
For eligible claims, our professional fees stay unbilled until your matter has been resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on on-call work, wages during a claim, work breaks, describing pain and damaged equipment.
An injury while on call may be covered if it arises from your work duties, such as a call-out. Record the time, your task at the time, and who called you out.
Some employers continue paying wages during a claim. This does not stop you from lodging a claim, but you should tell the insurer what you receive and keep payslips so payments can be reconciled.
An injury during a break may be covered, depending on where you were and what you were doing. Explain the circumstances fully rather than assuming a break rules out a claim.
Say where it hurts, when it started, what triggers it, and how it limits your tasks. A zero-to-ten scale can help, and honest, consistent descriptions are more useful than exaggeration or understatement.
Keep damaged clothing, tools, or protective gear, store them safely, and photograph them. Do not repair or throw them away until you have asked whether they could matter to your claim.
