Yes, an employee legally retains the right to resign from their job while receiving workers' compensation benefits in Australia, but doing so can significantly complicate or impact ongoing claim entitlements. While resigning does not automatically cancel your right to have existing medical bills and past compensation liabilities paid out, it can abruptly cut off weekly income maintenance if the insurer determines that your capacity to work is no longer restricted by the workplace injury or if your employer's obligation to provide suitable alternative duties ends. Seeking legal guidance before resigning is strongly advised.
