Melinda Griffiths Lawyers are one of Wollongong’s most experienced and trusted personal injury, unfair dismissal, redundancy and workers compensation law specialists.
Suffering an injury or illness while on the job can be physically, emotionally, and financially challenging. In such situations, understanding your rights and the workers' compensation system is essential. Workers' compensation is a form of insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured during work-related incidents. Workers' compensation ensures you receive necessary medical treatment for your work-related injury or illness, often covering medical bills, prescriptions, and rehabilitation services. If your injury prevents you from working, it provides partial wage replacement, helping you cope with lost income during your recovery period. In cases of permanent impairment, workers' compensation may offer benefits to compensate for the lasting impact on your ability to work. Navigating the complexities of workers' compensation claims can be challenging. At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we specialise in assisting individuals with workers' compensation claims. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to guiding you through the process, ensuring your rights are protected, and fighting for the benefits you deserve. If you've been injured at work, don't hesitate to reach out.

I’m pleased to report that our Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development has issued favorable reports for three important bills that will help protect workers, remove barriers to employment, and ensure a safe workplace. Thank you to my co-chair Sen. Patricia Jehlen and our committee members for their support. AN ACT RELATIVE TO EMPLOYMENT PROTECTIONS FOR VICTIMS OF ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR (H.1918-REP. LIVINGTONE/SEN. CREAM) This bill helps prevents employment discrimination against victims of domestic violence and abusive behavior. It requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to ensure safety in the workplace while helping the employee to be productive. It also updates the Domestic Violence Leave Law to ensure consistency in employer obligations. AN ACT RELATIVE TO PROTECTING WAGES OF DECEASED EMPLOYEES (H. 1855 - REP. CUTLER) This bill helps families gain access to a deceased employee’s wages faster in case it is needed for bills and it helps employers reduce administrative burdens associated with keeping pay for an extended time. It also removes the statutory wage cap of $100, last updated almost 100 years ago. AN ACT REDUCING BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT THROUGH CREDIT DISCRIMINATION (H.1434 - REP. CUTLER/SEN.BARRETT) This bill limits the use of personal credit reports for hiring purposes. Credit scores were never intended to be used for employment purposes and are not an accurate predictor of employee suitability or job performance. These pre-employment credit checks can create needless barriers for otherwise qualified employees.

Workers' Comp Settlement ⚖️ If an injured worker isn't satisfied with the coverage offered by their employer's carrier, they may consult with a lawyer.
