Weekly compensation

If you’re injured and can’t do your usual job, you may be able to apply to get weekly compensation. This is financial support that helps replace part of your income, so you’ll still get paid while you recover.


Am I eligible for weekly compensation?

If you qualify, you usually became eligible for weekly compensation on day 8 after your injury. If this isn’t your first time off work for the same injury, or it’s for approved surgery, payment may be available straight away. 

Answer the questions below to see if you're eligible.

1. Are you employed?

You need to be an employee, self-employed or a shareholder-employee. This must be at the time of the accident and on the day of, or day before your medical certificate shows you are unable to do some or all of your usual work duties.
