Workers Compensation

HACSU members take safety in the workplace seriously. It is every employer's and every member's responsibility to ensure that workplaces and work practices are safe.

Unfortunately from time to time members do get injured at work or as a result of work activity.

The Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act in Tasmania gives the right to members who are injured at work to claim compensation for the injury sustained and wages lost as a result of such injuries.

It also covers aggravation or re-occurrence of previous injuries if they re-occur or are aggravated as a result of the type of work performed.

This section details important information which members should be aware of if they are injured at work.

If you are injured at work, then you should lodge a Workers Compensation Claim with your employer and contact HACSU immediately.You will be referred to HACSU's lawyers, Ogilvie Jennings.

As part of the HACSU membership fee, members are entitled to be represented by HACSU's lawyers up to the dispute hearing stage in the Workers Rehabilitation and & Compensation Tribunal.

For further information on referrals to Ogilvie Jennings see the "Legal Advice" section under Membership Benefits.
