In Victoria, weekly compensation payments for workers with no current work capacity generally continue for up to 130 weeks (approx. 2.5 years) under standard provisions. Beyond 130 weeks, ongoing entitlements require meeting strict legislative thresholds proving that the worker has no current work capacity whatsoever and is permanently unlikely to ever return to any type of work. For workers with partial capacity, continuing benefits depend on active participation in suitable employment and ongoing medical reviews.
