Loans for Australians with work injury claims
Whether you’re on weekly benefits or running a common-law damages claim, Lawfunder can fund living costs and medical bills while your matter progresses.
What this funding is for
Workers compensation schemes differ by state, but the pattern is the same: weekly payments rarely match your old wage, treatment costs add up, and a common-law damages claim can take years. We provide funding so you’re not forced to settle early just to pay the rent.
Common situations we fund
- Weekly payments aren’t enough to cover your bills
- Out-of-pocket physio, surgery or rehab costs while the insurer reviews
- Statutory weekly payments have been cut off or are under dispute
- Your common-law damages claim is going to take 1–3 years
- Retraining costs while you transition to suitable employment
Frequently asked questions
Which state schemes do you fund?
All Australian states and territories. We’ve worked with claims under WorkCover QLD, icare NSW, WorkSafe Victoria, ReturnToWorkSA, WorkCover WA, WorkSafe Tasmania, WorkSafe ACT and NT WorkSafe.
Can I get funding before my claim is accepted?
Usually we wait until liability is at least partially admitted or your lawyer indicates the claim is solid. Talk to us early — we can do a no-obligation pre-qualifying assessment.
What happens if I lose my common-law claim?
Our loans are non-recourse: if you don’t win or settle, you don’t owe the loan back. We carry that risk, not you.
How long does approval take?
Once your lawyer signs the Common Interest Agreement and we’ve verified your details, funds typically land within 24 hours of approval.
