Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of personal injury claims can be made in the ACT?

    In the ACT, personal injury claims can include a range of incidents where a person has suffered harm due to the actions or negligence of another party. Common types include workplace injuries (workers compensation), road accidents (motor vehicle claims), slips or trips in public or private spaces (public liability), medical treatment that caused harm (medical negligence), and claims for permanent disability through superannuation (TPD). Each claim type is governed by different legislation, processes and eligibility requirements. It’s important to understand which category your situation falls under to ensure you follow the correct procedures and timeframes.

  • What is the difference between Comcare and workers compensation?

    Workers compensation is generally managed by individual state or territory schemes and applies to most private and public sector workers. In the ACT, workers compensation supports employees injured during the course of their work. Comcare, on the other hand, is a national scheme that applies to Commonwealth Government employees, ACT Government employees and some large companies that hold a Comcare licence. While both schemes offer support such as income replacement and medical expenses, they operate under different legislation and have different rules for eligibility, claims and appeals.

  • Is there a time limit for making a compensation claim in the ACT?

    Yes—strict time limits apply to most types of compensation claims in the ACT. For example, a claim under the Motor Accident Injuries Scheme should generally be lodged within 13 weeks of the accident. Medical negligence claims often carry a three-year limitation from the date of injury or the date the injury was discovered. Workers compensation and Comcare claims also require prompt reporting to employers and completion of forms within set timeframes. Missing a deadline may impact your ability to pursue a claim, so it’s important to be aware of the requirements that apply to your situation.
