Helping injured people in South Canberra

South Canberra is the heart of the national capital: Parliament House on Capital Hill, the Parliamentary Triangle, and many Commonwealth departments and agencies in Barton and Parkes, alongside the Manuka and Kingston shopping and dining precincts and established suburbs like Griffith, Forrest, Red Hill, Deakin and Yarralumla.

With so many federal workplaces, Comcare claims are a big part of what we do for inner south clients, including psychological injury claims for stress, bullying and workload. We also help with slips and falls at cafes, restaurants and shops in Manuka and Kingston, and road, cycling and pedestrian accidents around the city's busiest commuter routes.

Areas we cover here: Barton, Parkes, Capital Hill, Kingston, Griffith, Manuka, Forrest, Red Hill, Deakin, Yarralumla and Narrabundah.

Comcare and psychological injury claims

Federal public servants are usually covered by Comcare, which has its own rules for weekly payments, permanent impairment and reviews. Psychological injury claims are often disputed, so strong evidence matters.

Claims we handle for South Canberra clients

Workers compensation

Weekly payments, medical costs, lump sums and common law claims, under the ACT scheme or Comcare.

Car and motorbike accidents

Benefits under the ACT Motor Accident Injuries scheme, and common law claims for serious injuries.

Medical negligence

Surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication errors and birth injuries.

Public liability

Slips, trips and falls in shops, car parks, venues, rentals and public places.

Total and permanent disability claims through your super, including rejected claims.

Institutional abuse

Confidential claims for survivors of abuse in schools, churches, care and other institutions.

South Canberra injury claim FAQs

I work for a federal department in Barton. Can I claim for stress or bullying at work?
You may be able to. Psychological injury claims can be made under Comcare, but there are specific rules, including exclusions for injuries caused by reasonable administrative action taken in a reasonable manner. These claims are often disputed, so get advice before you lodge.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in South Canberra cost?
We run personal injury claims on a no win, no fee basis. Your first conversation is free, there are no upfront fees, and if your claim is not successful you do not pay our professional fees. You get a written costs agreement before we start.
Is there a time limit to make a claim in the ACT?
Yes. The general time limit to start court proceedings for a personal injury in the ACT is three years, but many claims have much shorter deadlines for giving notice or lodging forms, especially workers compensation and motor accident claims. Get advice as early as you can.
