Workers Compensation Scheme

To ensure the State’s workers’ compensation and injury management scheme operates effectively for the people of Western Australia, WorkCover WA:
  • provides information and community education on all aspects of the scheme;
  • promotes the injury management and vocational rehabilitation of injured workers to help them successfully return to work;
  • undertakes research and provides statistics in the areas of rehabilitation, injury prevention and noise induced hearing loss;
  • monitors compliance with the Act to ensure employers are insured for workers’ compensation to their full liability;
  • regulates and monitors the performance of service providers (e.g. insurers, approved vocational rehabilitation providers) to ensure they deliver an appropriate standard of service to workers and employers;
  • ensures all workers employed in a prescribed noisy workplace have the necessary hearing tests;
  • provides Conciliation and Arbitration Services to resolve disputed workers’ compensation matters; and
  • registers agreements where parties agree to settle a claim for compensation and agreements and determinations as to the level of a worker's disability prior to civil action.
