What is workers' compensation insurance?
Workers’ compensation provides financial support to people suffering from a work-related injury or illness. It could include weekly payments, medical and rehabilitation reimbursements, as well as lump sum payments1.
WorkCover insurance covers your business for the financial costs you may be liable for if a worker claims compensation.
Who needs workers' compensation insurance?
WorkCover insurance is mandatory if you:
- employ workers in Victoria and plan to spend over $7,500 in wages and benefits next financial year, or
