How we help

Emergency Services Lawyers are committed to maximise and protect any compensation you may be entitled to. That’s why we work as a team, ensuring that you are supported by a wider network of lawyers on your side.

We will support your legal journey end to end across a wide range of legal areas to help you achieve a better future.

Compensation Law

If you’ve been negatively affected or injured while serving the community, we can help. Our team of experts understand the unique situation that emergency services workers may face while on or off the job, and have a proven track record of achieving great outcomes for first responders across the Police, Fire, SES and Ambulance Services.

Injured at work

You should feel safe while at work. Unfortunately, protecting our communities comes with a greater risk of being injured or suffering negative consequences from someone else’s actions.

If your life has been affected by your experiences working for the emergency services you may be entitled to compensation under the relevant Workers' Compensation Scheme.

Contact us today so we can discuss your situation and advise you on the next best steps. Our legal team can also provide advice and help you to understand your rights if something has happened while you were off duty.

Superannuation & Personal Insurance Benefits

If you are negatively affected by your job as an emergency services worker and are unable to work due to illness or injury, you may be able to access benefits through your insurance policies.

We offer all emergency service workers a FREE Super Check to assess whether you are eligible to make a claim against any insurance policy benefits you may hold. Our wider team of experts will support you through this assessment and provide you with advice on how to proceed.

Wills & Estate Law

As an emergency services worker you spend a lot of your time looking out for others, but who is looking out for you?

If you have assets or dependants it’s important that you have an up to date Will. We offer all emergency services workers a FREE standard Will* prepared by an expert Wills & Estates Lawyer from our wider team. 

A Will is a legal document that outlines your wishes. It’s important to have a legally valid Will to ensure that your family and people you love are looked after in the way you would like in the future.
