Workers' compensation in Western Australia functions as a compulsory no-fault insurance system governed by state legislation that employers must maintain for all eligible workers. If an employee suffers a work-related injury or occupational disease, they submit a formal claim along with a medical certificate from their doctor. If accepted, the employer's licensed private insurer covers reasonable medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and weekly income replacement benefits. Concurrently, the employer and insurer collaborate on a workplace injury management plan to help the employee safely return to work.
