If your injury is a significant one, you may be eligible to complete a worker’s compensation form. Significant injuries are those which:
- require hospital admission or ongoing medical management
- interrupt your paid working life or school/university studies.
Your club safety officer will provide you with the necessary information to complete this form and assist you with your application.
Any member recovering from a significant injury or illness may not be able to return to duties or participate in surf sports activities until the club safety officer receives a final ‘fit to return to duties’ declaration form (aka ‘certificate of capacity’) from their treating medical practitioner.
Refer to the SLSA Guidelines for Safer Surf Clubs for more information about personal injury management and return to surf duties.
