How much does it cost to speak with a WorkCover lawyer?

Nothing. Your initial consultation is completely free. Our lawyers operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, so you only pay legal fees if they successfully secure compensation for you. There are no upfront costs and no hidden charges.

Do I need a lawyer for my WorkCover claim?

Not always. If your claim is straightforward, your employer is supportive, and your benefits are being paid correctly, you may not need legal representation right now. However, if your claim has been rejected, disputed, or you feel you’re not getting a fair go, speaking with one of our lawyers can make a significant difference.

What does no-win, no-fee actually mean?

It means exactly what it says. If our lawyers don’t win your case or secure compensation for you, you don’t pay any legal fees. The lawyer takes on the financial risk, not you. This ensures that access to justice isn’t limited to people who can afford to pay upfront.

How long does a WorkCover legal case take?

It depends on the complexity of your case. Some matters can be resolved in a few weeks through negotiation with the insurer. More complex cases — such as permanent impairment claims or disputed liability — can take several months or longer, particularly if the matter goes to the Workers Compensation Commission.

Can I change lawyers if I’m not happy with my current one?

Yes. You have the right to change your legal representative at any time. If you’re not happy with the service you’re receiving, our team can help you find the right lawyer for your situation.
