At the same time, it assists injured workers before they can get back to work.
It is an insurance product designed to cover the benefits of your employees if they suffer workplace-related injury or illness. Workers compensation is a mandatory requirement for all businesses to cover their staff and contractors in the event of an accident.

In Queensland, Victoria, NSW, and South Australia, it is solely operated by the government. For Western Australia, ACT, Tasmania, or Northern Territory, an insurer privately handles workers compensation.
