Workers Compensation Insurance

Obtain the right cover for your business

Employers/ businesses are required to have workers compensation insurance to cover employees, and themselves, for work related injury or sickness.

Businesses in 'risk states and territories' of Canberra (ACT), Tasmania, Western Australia (WA) or the Northern Territory (NT) have flexibility to choose a workers compensation solution - and Gallagher brokers can help by providing advice and options for workers compensation insurance, negotiate key coverage and competitive terms. In other locations, workers compensation insurance is available through a mandated provider for each individual state and not available through brokers.

Workers compensation includes payments to employees to cover their:

  • Wages while they're not fit for work - income replacement,
  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation,
  • Support may include one-off lump sum payments and support for workers to return to work.
