For many injured workers, knowing where to turn can be one of the most difficult parts of the recovery journey.


Whether someone is dealing with a workplace injury, WorkCover claim, psychological injury, TPD claim, income protection dispute, employment issue, rehabilitation matter, or insurance-related problem, finding a professional with the right experience can feel overwhelming.


At Bananas Support Services, we are building a growing national directory of legal professionals and support services to help Australian workers identify professionals with experience in workplace injury, workers compensation, WorkCover, superannuation insurance, TPD claims, income protection, employment disputes, rehabilitation, and related matters.


Our directory is developed through detailed independent research using publicly available information. This may include professional websites, published articles, case studies, court and tribunal decisions, client reviews, public feedback, industry experience, areas of practice, awards, professional recognition, reported compensation outcomes, settlement information where publicly available, and other relevant sources.


As part of our research process, we also consider how long a firm, professional, or organisation has been operating, where this information is publicly available. Years of operation can help provide useful context about a provider’s history, experience, and presence within the legal, insurance, rehabilitation, or support sector. However, this is only one factor considered and does not guarantee quality, suitability, or outcomes.


Where possible, we look for professionals and services with demonstrated experience assisting injured workers, including matters involving psychological injury, physical injury, workplace bullying, unsafe work practices, claim disputes, rejected claims, delayed payments, medical treatment disputes, return-to-work issues, permanent impairment, common law claims, superannuation insurance, TPD, and income protection.


Inclusion in the Bananas Support Services directory is based on our review of publicly available information and is intended to help workers better understand who may be available to assist them. It should not be taken as a guarantee, endorsement, ranking, legal advice, or promise of any outcome.


Workers should always make their own enquiries and seek independent advice before choosing a legal professional, support service, medical provider, or claims specialist.


Through independent research and review of publicly available information, our directory currently features 39 law firms and legal practices located across Australia.

Helping Workers Find Relevant Support


One of the biggest challenges injured workers face is simply understanding where to begin.


Bananas Support Services provides general information and maintains a directory of independently researched professionals to help workers identify potential sources of professional assistance.


Our goal is to reduce the time workers spend searching for support and make it easier to locate professionals with experience relevant to their circumstances.

As our directory continues to grow, our objective is to build one of Australia's most comprehensive independent resources connecting workers with professionals experienced in workplace injury, compensation, rehabilitation, insurance, and employment-related matters.


If you know of a lawyer, organisation, or support service that should be considered for inclusion, we welcome recommendations for review.
