Workers' Compensation

Sponsors sending 457 visa employees overseas on business have a duty of care to ensure that the workers compensation law in their State, allows for cover of Third Country Nationals. It may be necessary to obtain extra territorial cover.

Cover becomes complex when a 457 visa employee is seconded from overseas, works in Australia, is paid from a third country and then sent on a business trip to a fourth country.

We also advise checking domestic policies as rulings vary from State to State

All health fund policies exclude workers’ compensation claims.
