How do I get compensation?

Is a physical injury necessary to get compensation? Or is it still possible if it is only psychological injury?

Chris  Sheppard

It depends on how the injury or psychological injury occurred. All States in Australia have varying systems of compensation - the process and the compensation available vary greatly.


However, most systems (those in NSW most certainly) allow claims which relate to psychological injury.


Suggested way forward

I suggest that you consult a lawyer in your State who specialises in personal injury law.
