Commonwealth Compensation
Employees of the Commonwealth have a different compensation scheme from Victorian employees. We can provide you with expert advice in this area. The jurisdiction has expanded with new Licences for self-insurers bringing many more employers under the Commonwealth Scheme.
Previously Commonwealth compensation largely revolved around stress related injuries, but these days, claims are made for many types of physical injury as well, particularly when dealing with interstate transport companies and the like.
The process of dealing with claims is quite different from the Victorian Scheme and does involve a great deal of administrative work. It is most important that you have legal assistance to be able to navigate these claims.
