Understanding Workers Compensation in Tasmania
If you run a business in Tasmania and employ people, you’re legally required to have Workers Compensation Insurance. But the rules, paperwork, and premium structures can leave many business owners scratching their heads.
At WCompTas, we’re here to make sense of it all — with local advice and practical support that fits your business.
What Is Workers Compensation Insurance?
This type of insurance protects both employers and employees. If one of your workers is injured or becomes ill because of their job, Workers Compensation covers their medical costs, rehabilitation, and lost income. It also protects your business from the financial burden that can follow a workplace incident.
Do I Need a Policy?
In most cases, if you pay someone to work for your business, you need Workers Compensation Insurance — even if it’s just one employee. That includes:
- Full-time and part-time staff
- Casual workers
- Apprentices and trainees
- Some contractors, depending on the arrangement
If you’re unsure whether your workers are covered, it’s worth having a quick chat with a broker. Getting it wrong could be costly.
