If you have a complaint about a provider of financial products or services in Australia, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) offers a straightforward process to help resolve disputes.

Before lodging a complaint with AFCA, however, you must first try to resolve it directly with the financial firm, using their Internal Dispute Resolution processes. Once you’ve done that, and if you’re still not satisfied, you can submit your AFCA complaint.

Be sure to provide all necessary documents to support your case, such as contracts, medical reports (for disability insurance-related complaints), and correspondence.

AFCA may mediate or investigate to help you reach a resolution. If the outcome isn’t satisfactory, you can pursue other options.

Income protection insurance is to ‘protect’ you from lost income following certain events that result in you having to stop work, at least temporarily, due to injury or illness and being unable to earn your income.

Workers with income protection cover will either have it sitting in their superannuation policy or will have paid a premium for a policy that sits outside their super.

But whether you have a policy inside super or a separate policy outside your super, the law that applies to determining whether you are entitled to be paid any income protection benefit under a relevant policy is essentially the same.

23/02/2026

If Comcare has accepted your workers’ compensation claim, it confirms your injury or illness is work-related and that you can access statutory benefits (weekly payments, treatment and rehab, and sometimes a permanent impairment lump sum).

It does not automatically mean your employer was at fault. Under Comcare, suing your employer for negligence is generally restricted.

A claim may only be possible in limited cases, such as if you are assessed at 10% whole person impairment or more and you formally elect to pursue common law damages instead of the statutory lump sum offer.

The option for a separate claim against a third party (for example, another driver causing your accident) can also sometimes exist, but they can affect ongoing Comcare benefits and repayment rights.

In a significant decision back in November 2024, the NSW Supreme Court has said that it is not a given that a perpetrator criminally convicted of sexual offences will automatically be liable to pay compensation to the victim.

The abuse survivor was suing the estate of the perpetrator, Mr Croft (who died in prison in 2022) for psychological and serious physical injury.

It’s an interesting (and somewhat complicated) case for a number of reasons, but the focus of our blog is on the aspect of the Court’s decision that it was not an “abuse of process” to permit the perpetrator’s estate to deny the abuse actually happened.

Back injuries are common at work - from lifting and twisting to long hours at a desk. If your back injury is work-related, WorkCover Queensland may help with treatment costs, weekly payments and return-to-work support.

Key steps include telling your employer early about your injury, seeing a doctor for a WorkCover medical certificate, and lodging your claim within the usual 6-month timeframe.

Even if you had a pre-existing back condition, you may still be covered if work made it worse.

Some people may also be assessed for permanent impairment, which can lead to a lump sum offer. In some cases, you may need to choose between taking the lump sum offer or pursuing a separate common law claim (due to negligence that led to the injury) - that choice can be final, so get legal advice before deciding.

Medical negligence is a highly complex area of personal injury law. Many people who may have an entitlement to compensation simply aren’t aware of their rights, whether they can sue, and importantly, who they sue.

In a nutshell, you may be able to claim compensation if a healthcare provider caused you an injury while you were in their care.

Obviously, the devil is in the detail. Learn more here.

Cancer can develop years after workplace exposure, which can make claims feel daunting. If you’ve had long-term sun exposure at work, or exposure to substances like asbestos, silica, benzene, diesel exhaust or welding fumes, you may be able to lodge a workers’ compensation claim.

This guide steps through how claims are assessed, what documents and statements can support your claim, and what benefits may be available, including medical costs, weekly payments and, in some cases, a lump sum.

We also look at situations like contractors and claims by family members if a worker dies.

Queensland Workers' Compensation Case Review

Blue Care, an aged care and retirement living provider, has been found to have breached its duty of care to its workers.

The company has been held liable to pay $240,000 in workers’ compensation after an employee suffered significant PTSD following a sexual assault by a hostel resident.

The District Court ruled that the risks specific to this care environment should have been considered by the employer. A powerful reminder for all workplaces to assess and address unique risks to employee safety.

CRPS is a complex pain condition that can appear out of proportion to the original work injury, but it is very real and can be life changing.

In Queensland, WorkCover or a self-insurer may fund medical care, pain management, rehabilitation, weekly payments and lump sum compensation if CRPS is accepted as part of your claim.

Independent medical exams, permanent impairment assessments and return to work plans are common. Because CRPS often affects mood, sleep and relationships, psychological support can be just as important as physical treatment.

If you are injured at work in Queensland, you may have access to both a statutory WorkCover claim and a common law claim.

A statutory claim is made under the no-fault scheme and provides weekly payments (for loss of income), medical treatment and possibly a lump sum for permanent impairment.

A common law claim is different, focusing on your long-term losses if your employer’s negligence contributed to your injury.

Understanding how these claims interact, and the time limits, helps you protect your rights. Learn more 👇
