WorkCover Claims (Queensland)
Hurt at work? We help injured workers understand their entitlements, deal with the insurer, and move the claim forward — without the legal jargon.
General information only — not legal advice.
How the claims process works
Here’s the typical WorkCover journey in Queensland. We’ll tell you what step you’re in, what evidence matters most, and what to do next.
Report the injury
Tell your employer and see a doctor. Keep notes of what happened and where.
Lodge the claim
Complete the WorkCover claim and provide a medical certificate. We can help make sure key details aren’t missed.
Insurer decision
WorkCover may request evidence or documents. Delays often happen here if things are incomplete.
Weekly payments & treatment
If accepted, you may receive weekly payments and medical support. Return-to-work planning may start.
Disputes / next options
If rejected, stopped, or you’re pressured to return too soon — we can advise on disputes and whether common law damages may apply.
Settlement / common law
Some cases may involve a damages (common law) claim. We assess this early and explain your options in plain English.

WorkCover and workplace injury matters across Queensland.
Costs & fees (plain English)
Most people just want to know: “Will this cost me anything upfront?” We explain fees clearly before you decide to proceed. See costs explained.
No win, no fee (where eligible)
- No legal fees upfront to start (eligibility and terms apply).
- If your claim is unsuccessful, you generally won’t pay our professional fees for the work done (subject to your costs agreement).
- If your claim is successful, our fees are usually paid from compensation/settlement — not out of your weekly budget.
Every matter is different. We’ll confirm what applies to you during your free initial chat.
What you may pay
- Disbursements (out-of-pocket costs) like medical records may apply in some matters. We tell you before we incur them.
- If a claim progresses to certain stages, there may be costs rules that apply. We explain the “if / then” scenarios early.
- You’ll get a clear costs disclosure and can ask questions any time.
No surprises — we keep it simple and transparent.
