Workers’ compensation stigma occurs when a worker seeking compensation is discriminated against or stereotyped for seeking support. It can affect all aspects of the workers’ compensation process, such as preventing a worker from disclosing an injury or illness, reducing their engagement with the claims process, and impacting successful return to work outcomes.

Creating positive and supportive workplaces is key to reducing stigma around workers’ compensation, and everyone has a role to play.

Safe Work Australia is taking action to reduce workers’ compensation stigma. They have developed a range of practical resources to help employers, supervisors and workers to identify and reduce workers’ compensation stigma in the workplace including:

🔍 Case studies
📝 Factsheets

Workers’ compensation is an important safety net for people who are injured or ill because of work – helping them recover and return to work safely.

Workers’ compensation stigma occurs when there’s discrimination or stereotyping of a worker seeking workers’ compensation and can prevent them from making a claim or impact their recovery.

We’ve developed practical resources, including fact sheets, case studies and posters, with practical information to help employers, supervisors and workers identify and reduce workers’ compensation stigma.
