Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do after a personal injury in the ACT?

    After an injury, it’s important to seek medical care immediately and keep all documentation. If the injury occurred at work, in public or on the road, report the incident as soon as possible to the relevant party, such as an employer, insurer or authority. Supporting evidence may include medical records, witness statements, receipts and photographs. ACT claims processes vary depending on the situation, and strict timeframes may apply. Many people start with a claim check tool or speak to a legal professional to understand their next steps and responsibilities.

  • Are Comcare and workers compensation the same in the ACT?

    No—Comcare and ACT workers compensation are two separate systems. Workers compensation applies to most private sector and ACT-based workers, while Comcare is a national scheme for Commonwealth employees, ACT Government staff and workers at licensed corporations. Each scheme has different processes, eligibility requirements and benefits. For example, both may cover lost income and medical expenses, but the steps to claim and timeframes vary. Knowing which system applies to your employment is essential before lodging a claim or requesting a review.

  • What evidence do I need to support a compensation claim?

    Strong evidence can make a significant difference in progressing a claim. Medical records, treatment notes, diagnostic reports and receipts are often essential. Other useful documents may include workplace incident reports, accident scene photos, income details or a record of your symptoms over time. If the claim relates to superannuation (such as TPD), additional forms and insurer communication may also be required. Keeping everything organised from the beginning can help minimise delays and provide a clearer picture of the impact of the injury or illness.
