WorkSafe Funding For Home Care Services

Recovering from an occupational accident, or living with a disability that has been incurred on the job can be difficult. Carer’s Network is a registered private provider with WorkSafe that is available to support anyone covered under WorkSafe with a variety of services and supports tailored to your specific needs.

If you have sustained a work-related injury or illness, you may be entitled to claim for compensation for a range of services and treatment expenses to support you as you recover and return to work, or to support you longer term if you have incurred a permanent ongoing illness or injury.

WorkSafe empowers injured or ill workers to choose their preferred healthcare provider and will compensate for a range of treatment services. There are a variety of services that are able to be accessed without referral, and others that require referral.

Carer’s Network has been independently reviewed and is an accredited private provider of Attendant Care Services for WorkSafe clients. Attendant Carers support workers to work towards their functional independence, achieve their independence goals, or maintain as much independence as possible. This includes services such as Personal Care, Domestic Assistance, Rehabilitation Assistance, and Community and Social Support.

Injured or ill workers who may be eligible for WorkSafe compensation should contact WorkSafe to begin to determine their eligibility. Once you have determined your eligibility for compensation and what supports you may be able to access, Carer’s Network can assist with the coordination, implementation, and provision of support.
