Nurses with back injuries in Victoria are entitled to WorkCover,

Nurses with back injuries in Victoria are entitled to WorkCover, even without proof of fault.

Many nurses, midwives, aged care workers, and hospital staff are unaware that Victoria's WorkCover scheme is no-fault. You do not need to prove employer negligence. If your back injury arose from your work, whether from lifting and transferring patients, repositioning, repetitive physical tasks, or the cumulative wear of years on shift, you may be entitled to support.

Entitlements can include:

weekly payments while you cannot return to your normal duties
all reasonable medical, rehabilitation and surgical costs
a lump sum payment where the injury is serious and ongoing
access to common law damages in certain circumstances, which means a larger lump sum where negligence has caused the injury

WorkCover is administered by insurers whose role is to minimise cost. The right legal advice often changes what an injured worker actually receives.
