workers compensation entitlements
Did the act of violence happen in the workplace, or on your way to or from work? If so, your claim cannot be processed until you have pursued all workers compensation entitlements. However, you must still lodge your claim within 2 years of the act of violence. Once received, a compensation assessor may adjourn the matter until the workers compensation entitlements have been finalised.
It will assist in the processing of your claim if you provide the Tribunal with a copy of your workers compensation claim and the 'Terms of Settlement'.
