WORK INJURY CLAIMS NORTHERN TERRITORY
Workers Compensation throughout Australia varies, depending on the state or territory you were injured in. The Northern Territory Workers Compensation legislator WorkSafe, states that a worker can lodge a Workers Compensation application if an injury arises;
- during the course of employment,
- by any accident arising out of employment,
- on a journey to or from work, except if the accident involved a motor vehicle.
If you suffer an injury at work the first thing you must do is report the injury to your employer, then seek medical attention. Your employer will have procedures in which to follow should an injury occur. A work injury claim needs to be lodged with the NT WorkSafe within 6 months from the date of the injury.
