Legal and government advice

You may have a need to engage legal or regulatory organisations during or after your recovery. This could be due to a:

• contested leave request
• workers compensation dispute
• compulsory third party (CTP) insurance claim

There are a range of support agencies that may be able to offer help, including:

• Workers Compensation Independent Review Office (WIRO)  provides answers to general questions as well as helping injured workers solve disputes with insurers
• CTP Legal Advisory Service for independent advice if you've been injured in a motor accident on or after 1 December 2017
• SIRA's Dispute Resolution Service can resolve disputes about CTP claims
• Human Rights Commission, which offers advice and actions to take if you're facing discrimination on returning to work
• the Commonwealth Ombudsman if you need to make a complaint against your health insurance provider. You can also get free, independent dispute resolution support
