A worker who has not undergone a baseline audiometric test is not prohibited from claiming compensation. If you are in this situation you need to write to the WorkCover WA Noise Induced Hearing Loss Section. This letter must include your full name and date of birth and state that you wish to be considered for Noise Induced Hearing Loss compensation. WorkCover will then advise you of the steps in this process. An audio loop is also available on 48 hours notice.
Information is available in alternate formats for people with disabilities on request.
Information in languages other than English can be made available on prior notice through translator services paid for by WorkCover. The WorkCover Infoline provides only general information on workers' compensation and rehabilitation matters to workers, employers and other parties in the system. Infoline cannot provide rulings on actual or hypothetical workers' compensation cases, assist you to complete application forms, give legal advice or provide representation in any proceedings on your behalf. For the hearing impaired, an audio loop is available on 48 hours notice. Directorate registry officers provide information about dispute resolution procedures only.
