Whether you’re a new employer, or have run your own business for many years, WorkCover WA has a wide range of information to ensure your business complies with the legislation relating to workers’ compensation, including injury management and return to work programs under the Workers' Compensation and Inury Management Act 1981 (the Act). See link under Related Links in right hand panel.

WorkCover WA understands there are many operational requirements you need to meet as an employer. We help employers throughout Western Australia comply with the Act by having workers' compensation policies and injury management programs in place for their workers.
