Plain-English answers about ReturnToWorkSA claims.
Reviewed by CompoCheck Editorial Team · Last updated
How do I lodge an RTWSA claim?
Notify your employer of the injury. See your GP for a Work Capacity Certificate. Lodge a workers compensation claim form with your employer or the claims agent. The agent must respond within 10 business days.
What does ReturnToWorkSA pay?
Income support (typically 100% of pre-injury earnings for 13 weeks, then 80%, capped). Reasonable and necessary medical and treatment expenses. Lump-sum permanent impairment payments at 5%+ whole-person impairment. Death benefits for dependants of workers killed in workplace incidents.
When can I pursue common-law damages in SA?
Common-law damages are available where the injury was caused by employer negligence and meets the impairment threshold. The threshold and access criteria differ slightly under the South Australian scheme. Your matched lawyer will assess whether common-law is an option for your specific case.
How long do I have to lodge?
Notify your employer as soon as practical and lodge the formal claim within 6 months. Late claims may be accepted with good reason.
