Slater and Gordon is one of Australia’s most recognised personal injury law firms, with a dedicated team of workers’ compensation lawyers across Melbourne and regional Victoria. With offices throughout the state, they provide accessible legal support to injured workers dealing with both physical injuries and psychological conditions caused by work.

Their team has the experience and resources to manage complex WorkCover claims, dealing directly with WorkSafe authorities so clients can focus on recovery. They support a wide range of claims — including workplace accidents, repetitive strain injuries, industrial conditions, and mental health injuries arising from stress, trauma, bullying, or workplace incidents.

Slater and Gordon is particularly strong in handling psychological injury claims, including conditions such as anxiety, depression, and Post-traumatic stress disorder. They understand the strict legal thresholds and medical requirements involved, and guide clients through what can often be a complex and highly disputed process.

Clients may be entitled to a range of benefits, including:

• Weekly payments for lost income

• Medical and hospital expenses

• Medical and hospital expenses

• Rehabilitation, counselling, and support services

• Lump sum compensation for permanent impairment

• Pain and suffering damages

• Loss of superannuation entitlements

In addition to workers’ compensation, Slater and Gordon also provides support in employment law matters, including unfair dismissal, workplace bullying, harassment, and discrimination — areas that often overlap with psychological injury claims.

The firm operates on a no win, no fee basis, meaning clients don’t pay legal fees unless their claim is successful. They also offer free initial consultations and online claim checks, making it easy for injured workers to understand their rights and options early.

What makes Slater and Gordon a strong choice for both physical and psychological injury claims is their ability to:

• Manage complex WorkCover claims from start to finish

• Handle mental health claims alongside physical injuries

• Identify additional compensation pathways (including employment and superannuation claims)

• Provide flexible appointments — in office, at home, hospital, or via video

With a large, experienced legal team and a strong presence across Victoria, Slater and Gordon combines national strength with local support — helping injured workers navigate the system and secure the maximum compensation they’re entitled to.
