Workers Compensation Lawyers Who Listen
Many workers aren’t sure what they’re entitled to after getting injured. Workers compensation can cover lost wages, medical expenses, rehab costs and in some cases, permanent impairment. You may also be eligible for support with retraining or return-to-work planning.
We help with injuries from accidents, repetitive strain, psychological stress and illnesses caused by work. If your claim has been denied or delayed—or you're being pressured to return before you're ready—we step in to protect your rights and try to make sure you're treated fairly.
We liaise with doctors, employers and insurers, keeping your paperwork on track and explaining each step in simple terms. That way, you can focus on recovery without the extra stress.
Support That’s About More Than Paperwork
Workplace injuries affect more than just your job—they can impact your income, your family life and your mental health. We work with you to build a claim that reflects the full impact of your injury, both now and into the future.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, struggling with anxiety or planning your return to work, we’re here to help with clear legal advice and calm guidance. If you qualify for a lump sum due to permanent injury, we’ll prepare your assessment and help you claim what’s fair.
Our focus is long-term: making sure you’re supported at every stage, not just filling out forms and moving on.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does workers compensation cover in NSW?
Workers compensation in NSW can include weekly wage replacement, medical expenses, travel for treatment, rehabilitation, and lump sum payments for permanent impairment.
If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job, you may also be eligible for retraining or other return-to-work support. The specific benefits depend on the type and severity of your injury.
Do I need a lawyer to make a workers compensation claim?
Not always—but legal help can make the process easier and protect your rights, especially if your claim is delayed, denied, or underpaid.
A lawyer can guide you through paperwork, liaise with insurers, help prepare for medical assessments and represent you if a dispute arises. Legal support is especially important when seeking lump sum compensation for permanent impairment.
Can I claim workers compensation for mental health?
Yes, if your psychological injury is caused by work—for example, ongoing stress, workplace bullying or trauma—you may be eligible to claim. You’ll need medical evidence and a diagnosis from a qualified practitioner.
Psychological injury claims can be complex, and legal advice can help improve your chances of approval by ensuring your claim meets all legal requirements.
What if I’m not sure my injury is serious enough to claim?
Even minor injuries can qualify for workers compensation if they affect your ability to work or need medical treatment. Things like repetitive strain, sprains or low-level stress can all lead to longer-term issues if not managed early.
It's best to report the injury, see a doctor and speak with a lawyer to understand your rights—before problems get worse.
