What can you claim?
If you have been injured or have become ill as a result of your work for the Australian Commonwealth Government, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation under the Comcare scheme. The Comcare scheme is a national workers’ compensation scheme that provides benefits and support to employees of the Commonwealth Government who have been injured or become ill as a result of their work.
If you are eligible to make a claim under the Comcare scheme, you may be able to claim for the following:
- Medical expenses: This includes the cost of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and medication related to your work-related injury or illness.
- Income support: If you are unable to work as a result of your work-related injury or illness, you may be entitled to income support payments to help cover your lost income.
- Lump sum payments: Depending on the severity of your injury or illness, you may be eligible to receive a lump sum payment to compensate you for the pain and suffering you have experienced.
- Travel expenses: If you need to travel to attend medical appointments or rehabilitation services related to your work-related injury or illness, you may be entitled to claim travel expenses.
- Return to work assistance: If you are unable to return to your previous job as a result of your injury or illness, you may be entitled to assistance with finding a new job or retraining.
The specific benefits and compensation available to you under the Comcare scheme will depend on the nature and extent of your injury or illness, as well as the circumstances of your case. It is recommended that you seek the advice of an experienced Comcare lawyer to assist you with your claim and to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation available to you.

How Much Compensation Will I Receive
The amount of compensation you may receive for your Comcare claim through LHD Lawyers in Australia will depend on several factors, including the nature and severity of your injury or illness, the impact it has had on your ability to work and perform daily activities, and the medical expenses you have incurred.
Your lawyer will work with you to assess the full extent of your damages and determine an appropriate compensation amount based on these guidelines. This may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your injury or illness.
It’s important to note that every case is unique, so there is no one-size-fits-all answer to how much compensation you may receive. Your lawyer will work with you to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible for your particular case.
What Happens if My Comcare Claim is Denied?
In the event that your Comcare claim is denied, a review application will need to be submitted to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Time limits are strict when requesting a reconsideration; however, your personal injury lawyer will advise you of all relevant time limits in relation to your case.
How Much Will I Have to Pay?
Different law firms will charge different rates for their legal services, and the cost of legal representation for a Comcare claim can vary depending on the complexity of your case and the amount of time and resources required to pursue your claim.
However, at LHD Lawyers, we believe that you shouldn’t have to pay unless you win your case. This means that we operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, where you will not be required to pay any legal fees upfront, and you will only be charged if we successfully secure compensation for you.
This approach ensures that you are never out of pocket and that you have access to high-quality legal representation, regardless of your financial situation. It also gives us the incentive to work hard to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
Before we take on your case, we will provide you with a clear and transparent breakdown of our fee structure and what you can expect to pay if we win your case. This will allow you to make an informed decision about whether our legal services are right for you.
