Workers Compensation Claims Management

The Avoca Difference

We will assist you through the lifecycle of the policy. We will offer you professional advice, source competitive premiums, and provide assistance with risk management.

We are here to answer any questions you may have.  How do I lodge a claim? When will my worker be fit to come back to work? How do I organise a return to work plan? Will my premium rise because i have lodged a claim?

Workers’ Compensation is often the most expensive insurance purchase for our clients. It is also required to be in place under legislation. We work to manage all aspects of Workers’ Compensation through both our internal resources and external partners with specialist services in Risk Management.  We can assist all clients across Australia in managing their Workers Compensation and People Risk.

We also understand that despite all efforts and the best risk management in place, it is inevitable workplace injuries will occur.  We provide our expertise and experience to ensure your interests are looked after and that claims for your workers are managed effectively to have workers return to pre-accident duties as quickly as possible saving both time and money for our clients and looking after your valued worker.

When a worker is injured, getting an early diagnosis and an appropriate injury management plan in place is vital to ensure the worker receives treatment and is back at work as quickly as possible.
