What we can't do

The WorkCover Ombudsman does not provide legal advice or representation. The WorkCover Ombudsman’s power to investigate is confined to complaints and issues that relate to the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986 (SA). In addition, the Office has no power to investigate complaints that concern matters that are:

• reviewable decisions under the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986 (SA) 
• the subject of legal proceedings
• an industrial dispute under the Fair Work Act 1994 (SA).
