Compensation coverage and lodging a claim FAQs

'm a casual worker - am I still covered for workers compensation?
Regardless of a worker's status (ie, full-time, part-time or casual), if they are determined to be workers under the Act they are eligible for compensation if they are injured or become sick because of their work.

I actually work in this industry.

All employees, regardless of employment status, are eligible to claim compensation through their employer's insurance company.

Most employers are quite hesitant to fire employees until such a time as they are certified fit for pre-injury duties as it has significant impact on their premiums. My concern, in the current economic climate, would be as a casual, it is quite easy to fire someone once they return to pre-injury duties, and so I would be encouraging your friend to seriously consider whether or not compensation is the way he wants to go.
