Workers comp for remote employees in Brisbane, Gold Coast and all QLD
Remote working is becoming more common all over the world following the pandemic. Despite not being in a standard workplace setting, you can still claim for workers compensation depending on the nature of the accident.
A remote employee can suffer a number of common injuries. That is where health and safety measures, proper training and workers comp insurance are helpful. Employees working remotely deserve to have the same, safe work environment as those working from an office.

The advantages of remote working
As a remote worker, there are several significant advantages you might enjoy. These include:
Flexible work hours: many employees working from home enjoy flexible working hours. You decide when you work and when you don’t want to work.
More control over your workstation setup: as a remote employee, you may have more control over your workstation setup. The freedom to source your own furniture, equipment and technology suitable for your position.
Lower infection risk: during COVID 19, it is important to highlight that if an employee works remotely, they are at a lower risk of contracting the disease. If you work remotely, you can minimise your physical contact with other people.
Despite the advantages, you can still suffer a work related injury. Our lawyers specialising in workers compensation might be able to help you with a claim. Contact us to confirm or you can use our 30 second claim checker.
Common remote working injuries
If you work from home, you need to consider implementing preventative measures in your work space that can help keep you safe. However, employers still have a duty of care to minimise your risks of an accident. Unfortunately, even if you take all the proper precautions, you can still get hurt. There are a number of serious injuries you might suffer while working from home.
Here are some of the most common examples:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- A herniated disc
- Eye injuries
- Injuries from a falling object
These are the most common injuries you may suffer while working from home. Despite working remotely, your employer still has a duty of care to ensure they do what is ‘reasonably practicable’ to ensure your health and safety. That means if you have suffered an injury while working remotely, you could be entitled to compensation. Contact us for a free claims assessment.
