Work injury compensation for nurses and aged care workers. That's our specialty.

As a nurse or an aged care worker you’re faced with many situations, such as patient handling, that can put you at risk of injury. We understand that you work in an environment where you need to deal with situations as they arise and you can’t always be prepared for them. But getting injured is not part of your job, so if you’re suffering from pain or an injury that has resulted from your work in nursing or aged care, you should notify your employer right away so that a workers compensation claim can be lodged. Once you have done that, it’s a good idea to talk to a specialist workers compensation lawyer who has experience with claims similar to yours, to get a better understanding of your entitlements.

As a nurse or aged care worker you’re regularly in situations that can cause physical injuries, but these injuries don’t necessarily happen as a result of an accident – they can occur over time. Many injuries result from incidents like lifting a patient after a fall, especially when patient lifting equipment isn’t available, and other situations where your own safety is compromised. We also understand that issues like back pain can get gradually worse over a long period of time – but with the right medical evidence this can be linked to work-related activities. At law Partners we have extensive experiencing helping nurses and aged care workers claim compensation, and our specialist lawyers are available to provide free advice over the phone on what you can claim.
