Workers' Compensation NT

Partner with one of the leading workers' compensation insurers

What is workers' compensation and what does it cover?

Under the Return to Work Act 1986 (NT), employers must hold a workers' compensation insurance policy with an approved insurer if they employ anyone who performs work or a service under a written or oral contract. 

If a worker is injured at work or develops an illness as a result of their work, they may be entitled to financial compensation. Workers' compensation insurance may include weekly payments to cover loss of earnings, reimbursement for reasonable medical and rehabilitation expenses, and lump sum payments in case of permanent impairment1.

Why workers' compensation insurance is important

Workers' compensation insurance covers your business for financial costs you may be liable for when a worker sustains a work-related injury or illness. Any worker who requires medical treatment or time off work as a result of a workplace injury or illness is entitled to claim workers' compensation, regardless of who was at fault.

Although you may have measures in place to keep your workers safe, accidents can happen. Workers' compensation can lessen the challenges that may arise from a workplace injury or illness, for both employers and workers.

Support your worker’s return to work

You can support your worker’s return to work by maintaining regular contact with your worker and your insurer’s case manager. This may include providing alternate suitable duties and collaborating with your worker, treating doctor or rehabilitation provider to develop their Return to Work Plan. 

If your worker is unable to return to their usual job, you’re required to provide retraining where practicable or assist them in finding another job, for example by providing leads and references.

Retain injured worker’s position

To help improve return to work outcomes, you can’t dismiss a worker for six months following the date of a workplace injury, unless during that time the worker is no longer totally or partially incapacitated.

Make timely compensation payments

If liability for a worker’s compensation claim is accepted, then you must make weekly compensation payments commencing within three working days of the decision to accept the claim. 

Maintain a register of injuries

All employers are required to maintain a register of injuries that is readily accessible to all workers. The register is a current record of any injuries suffered by workers, whether or not they result in a claim.
