WorkCover Medical & Related Expenses
If your WorkCover claim is accepted, you may be entitled to have your medical and related expenses covered. This includes treatment, rehabilitation, medication, household support, and even home or car modifications to help you live independently. In some cases, WorkCover can also cover funeral costs. At Bastion Legal, we help injured workers secure and protect these vital entitlements so you can focus on recovery.

What WorkCover can cover
WorkCover benefits are designed to ease the financial and personal burden of recovery. Depending on your circumstances, these expenses may include medical treatment, hospital care, medication, nursing or personal care at home, household support services, travel to and from medical appointments, and modifications to your home or car. In tragic cases, funeral and cremation costs can also be covered.
If your entitlements are cut off, strict deadlines apply. You only have 60 days to challenge the decision through conciliation, and if that fails, you may need to go to court to have your benefits reinstated. Acting quickly is critical to protect your rights.
