When is a worker covered for workers compensation?

A worker may be entitled to compensation for an injury or disease that occurs/arises: during the course of employment; or, by an accident arising out of employment.

Do I have to cover my contractors and sub-contractors?

It depends on whether the contractor or sub-contractor is defined as a ‘worker’. The term ‘worker’ includes: A contractor to whose service an industrial award or agreement applies; A contractor engaged to work for the purpose of your trade or business, whose remuneration is in exchange for their personal manual labour or services. For more information, see our Important Notices guide or go to the WorkCover WA website.
