Canberra Comcare Claims Lawyers

Expert Legal Support for Commonwealth Compensation in the ACT

As the nation’s capital, Canberra is home to a large number of employees covered by the Commonwealth workers compensation scheme. If you’ve suffered a workplace injury or illness and need to make a Comcare claim, the process can feel overwhelming.

At TGB Lawyers in Canberra, our experienced Comcare claims lawyers provide clear advice and strong representation to help you secure the Commonwealth compensation you are entitled to under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act).

Who is Covered by Comcare in Canberra?

The Comcare scheme provides coverage for:

• Australian Government employees and statutory authority staff

• Employees of organisations licensed to self-insure under Comcare

If your employment falls into these categories, you may be able to lodge a Comcare claim for any work-related injury, illness or psychological condition.

What Benefits Does Comcare Provide?

An accepted Comcare claim may entitle you to a range of benefits, including:

• Medical expenses and rehabilitation support – covering treatment and recovery services

• Weekly income support – wage replacement during time away from work

• Permanent impairment payments – lump sums for lasting injuries or conditions

• Household and attendant care services – practical assistance if you cannot manage daily living

These entitlements are aimed at supporting your health, recovery and financial security.

Types of Claims We Handle

Our Comcare claims lawyers in Canberra assist clients with a wide range of claims, including:

• Physical injuries sustained in the workplace

• Psychological injuries such as stress, depression, or PTSD

• Illnesses or diseases caused or worsened by work

The essential requirement is that the condition is directly linked to your employment.

How the Comcare Claims Process Works

Making a Comcare claim involves:

1. Seeking medical care and obtaining a certificate confirming the link between your condition and work

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

3. Completing a Comcare claim form and gathering supporting medical evidence

4. Submitting the claim to Comcare or your self-insured employer for assessment

Because the process can be complicated, early legal advice can make a significant difference to the outcome.

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

Why Legal Support is Important

Even within the ACT, where many workers are covered by the Commonwealth scheme, issues often arise such as:

• Disputed or denied claims

• Delays in accessing benefits

• Disagreements about permanent impairment assessments

Our Canberra Comcare claims lawyers can manage these challenges and advocate strongly for your rights and entitlements.
