WorkCover WA legal requirement

For business owners with employees or subcontractors

Covers medical costs, lost wages, common law damages and more

Fines and penalties apply for not having a policy in place

As a business owner in Western Australia, you should know that WorkCover law requires you to have Workers Compensation insurance. But do you know why?

Workers Compensation is a statutory requirement for any business with employees and/or uninsured subcontractors, so if you employ staff and/or uninsured subcontractors, you must take out Workers Compensation cover.

Workers Compensation is a form of insurance covering any work-related injury or illness. This can cover wage replacement, (if your employees are unable to work) and medical treatments. Workers Compensation is a legal requirement governed by Workcover WA. Everyone has the right to be safe at work.

What Are the Benefits of Workers Compensation Insurance?

Workers Compensation insurance doesn’t just protect your employees—it protects your business too. If an employee were to get injured at work, as their employer, you’d be responsible for compensating the medical costs, lost wages from time off work, common law damages, penalties and other fees.

Fortunately, you can avoid these financial consequences by taking out a Workers Compensation insurance policy to protect your workers and your business.

How Common Are Workplace Injuries?

You might think that workplace injuries are only likely in dangerous jobs or jobs that require a lot of manual labour. However, the truth is that jobs of all kinds can lead to injuries. For example, repetitive motions such as typing can lead to carpal tunnel. And working at a restaurant can expose employees to the risk of burns and slip and falls.

Whatever kind of business you run in Perth, make sure your employees follow all safety protocols, review your Workplace Health and Safety, and Risk Management policies and procedures regularly, and further protect your business by purchasing a Workers Compensation policy.
