Experienced Legal Support for Commonwealth Workers Compensation 

Navigating Comcare claims can be complex and stressful, particularly if you are recovering from an injury or illness. At TGB Lawyers, our team of dedicated Comcare claims lawyers helps employees covered under the Commonwealth workers compensation scheme secure the entitlements they deserve. 

With decades of experience, we guide clients across Adelaide and South Australia through every stage of the Comcare claims process, ensuring their rights are protected under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act). 

What is Comcare? 

Comcare is the national authority that administers the Commonwealth workers compensation scheme. This scheme applies to: 

• Employees of Australian Government agencies and statutory authorities 

• Workers employed by organisations licensed to self-insure under the Comcare scheme 

If you have suffered a work-related injury, illness or psychological condition while working for one of these entities, you may be eligible to make a Comcare claim. 

What Does Comcare Compensation Cover? 

Successful Comcare claims can provide a wide range of benefits, including: 

• Medical treatment and rehabilitation – covering the cost of treatment, therapy and recovery services 

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

• Permanent impairment compensation – lump sum payments for ongoing or permanent conditions 

• Household and attendant care services – assistance if your injury or illness prevents you from managing everyday tasks 

These entitlements are designed to support your recovery and, where possible, help you return to work. 

Common Types of Comcare Claims 

Our Comcare claims lawyers regularly assist with cases involving: 

• Physical injuries sustained at work 

• Psychological conditions such as stress, anxiety or PTSD 

• Illnesses or diseases caused, or made worse, by employment 

To qualify, your injury or illness must be directly connected to your work. 

The Comcare Claims Process 

Making a Comcare claim involves a number of important steps: 

1. Seek medical treatment and obtain a certificate linking your condition to your work 

1. Notify your employer as soon as possible 

1. Complete a Comcare claim form, available from your employer or Comcare’s website 

1. Lodge your claim along with supporting medical evidence 

Your claim will then be assessed, and you will be notified of the outcome. 

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