Have you acquired hearing loss that can be, at least in part, attributed
to a noisy job? If yes, you’re probably eligible for compensation through
a government scheme managed by WorkSafe Victoria.
This program is designed to alleviate the costs associated with
workplace hearing loss by covering:
· The costs of hearing services and devices
· Lump sum payments for permanent impairment
· Ongoing payments for those incapacitated by their hearing condition
The compensation process begins with a detailed hearing assessment to determine the impact of workplace noise on your hearing. This initial step is crucial for tailoring the compensation to your specific needs.
We encourage everyone potentially affected to contact their insurer or WorkSafe Victoria directly to understand the full range of benefits available. At HearCare, we can facilitate these discussions and help manage the claiming process from start to finish.
