Our WorkCover Assessment Process
WorkCover assessments are a process by which workers can determine if their hearing loss is due to their employment and, if so, be eligible for compensation from WorkCover. The assessment process typically involves a medical examination by an audiologist, as well as a review of your employment history and medical records.
If your WorkCover assessment finds that your hearing loss is work-related, you will be eligible to apply for compensation. The amount of compensation you receive will depends on the severity of your hearing loss and the impact it has had on your life.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind about WorkCover assessments:
The assessment process can take several months.
You may need to provide additional information or documentation to support your claim.
The decision of whether or not your hearing loss is work-related is ultimately up to WorkCover.
WorkCover assessments can be a complex process, but it is important to get the right advice if you believe that your hearing loss is work-related. Please email dan@butterflyaudiology.com.au if you have any further questions about work-related hearing loss and WorkCover.
