Workplace Injuries & Receiving Compensation

If you were to become injured or fall ill as a result of your working conditions, you might be entitled to worker’s compensation. Worker’s compensation is a form of insurance payment paid to injured employees or their dependents in the case of death. At Eli Waters Medical Centre, we provide workplace injury management to workers throughout the Fraser Coast—including Hervey Bay Airport, Burrum Heads, and Eli Waters—who seek compensation and require a medical certificate to validate their experience. Workplace injuries are more common than they would appear and are particularly frequent in high-risk industries such as construction, mining, farming and more. Injury or illness may occur due to a lack of safety equipment or training. Common injuries and illnesses that occur at the workplace include, but are not limited to:
You may be eligible to receive a worker’s compensation payment if your injury or illness originated during employment and was caused by the nature of work.
