Workers compensation is a form of insurance payment made to both paid and volunteer employees if they are injured at work or become sick due to their work. It includes payments to members to cover their:
- Wages while they’re not fit for work.
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation.
SLSNSW arrangements with icare do not extend to coverage of paid staff at individual SLS state centre, branch or club levels. SLSCs must take out their own workers compensation insurance to cover themselves and their paid staff.
Any claims and injury reporting procedures related to paid staff is entirely the responsibility of the individual SLSC. Please contact the SLSNSW Membership Team if you require any advice or information.
