What is included in my premium?

Your policy helps cover your business against costs associated with supporting a worker who is injured at work. This may include:

  • Weekly compensation benefits, e.g., paying all or a portion of their wage
  • Medical and hospital expenses, e.g., GP consultations, physiotherapy, and surgery expenses
  • Rehabilitation services, e.g., providers that support employers and workers with safe return to work
  • Certain personal items, e.g., clothing or spectacles, if damaged in a work-related accident
  • Lump sum payment for death or permanent impairment
