Overview

Workers Compensation Insurance for employers in the Northern Territory

Workers Compensation Insurance is compulsory for the majority of employers in Australia.

In the Northern Territory, employers must have insurance for anyone defined as a worker.

If an employee suffers a work-related injury or illness, this insurance may cover their related medical bills. It may also help cover wages if they’re unable to return to work.

What's covered

  • Your worker’s wages if they suffer a work-related injury or illness and are unable to work.
  • Medical expenses, treatment and rehabilitation costs.

Who's covered

All your workers. Generally includes anyone receiving a wage or commission payment - including casuals and temporary employees, apprentices, trainees and some contractors.

What is Workers Compensation insurance?

It’s compulsory for most employers in Australia. From slips, trip and falls to muscle strains and injuries, Workers Compensation provides support for workers with a work-related injury.
