Brisbane Comcare Claims Lawyers

Guiding Queensland Workers Through Commonwealth Compensation

Dealing with a workplace injury or illness can be stressful enough without the added complexity of making a Comcare claim. At TGB Lawyers in Brisbane, our dedicated Comcare claims lawyers help employees across Queensland navigate the Commonwealth workers compensation system, ensuring they receive the full benefits they are entitled to.

We understand the difficulties of the Comcare process and provide trusted legal advice under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act).

Who is Covered by Comcare in Queensland?

The Commonwealth compensation scheme applies to:

• Federal Government employees and statutory authority staff

• Employees of organisations that hold a Comcare self-insurance licence

If your role falls into one of these categories and you’ve sustained a work-related injury, illness or psychological condition, you may be eligible to lodge a Comcare claim in Brisbane.

What Benefits Can Comcare Provide?

An approved Comcare claim may include access to:

• Medical treatment and rehabilitation – covering consultations, treatment, and therapy

• Weekly income support – replacing your wages while you are unable to work

• Permanent impairment payments – lump sum entitlements for lasting conditions

• Household and attendant care assistance – support at home if your injury or illness prevents you from managing daily life

These entitlements are intended to relieve financial pressure and support your recovery.

Injuries and Conditions Covered

Our Brisbane Comcare claims lawyers assist clients with:

• Physical injuries sustained at work

• Psychological conditions, including stress and PTSD

• Illnesses and diseases that are linked to employment

The crucial requirement is that the condition has a clear connection to your work.

Steps in the Comcare Claims Process

The process for making a Comcare claim generally includes:

1. Visiting a medical professional and obtaining a certificate connecting your condition to your work

2. Informing your employer of the injury or illness as soon as possible

3. Completing the Comcare claim form with the supporting medical evidence

4. Lodging your claim with Comcare or your licensed employer

The outcome of your claim will then be assessed. Having a lawyer can help you prepare a strong application and deal with any disputes.

The below diagram outlines the claims process so you can have a better understanding of what to expect.

Why Legal Advice Matters

Although the scheme is designed to protect employees, issues frequently arise such as:

• Rejected or delayed claims

• Disputes over the extent of entitlements

• Permanent impairment assessments that don’t reflect your condition

Our Comcare claims lawyers in Brisbane advocate on your behalf to ensure your rights are protected and you achieve the best possible result.
