WorkCover investigation is either a factual investigation, or surveillance, occasionally a combination of the two. In the initial stages of a claim it may be filtered out by WorkCover, or the Workers Compensation private insurance company, if the initial claim raises flags. After the claim is accepted liability is attached to the employer, and the insurer becomes a rehabilitation co-ordinator, with the objectives of returning the person to work in the same position with the same employer, in a different position with the same employer, in the same position with a different employer, or a different position with a different employer. At this time concerns, and suspicions, of the employer, that the employee is committing fraud may not be recognised by the insurer, without evidence, because the claim has been accepted. The onus falls on the employer to prove fraud, because the insurer won't move.

Once a claim is accepted, the insurer becomes a workplace rehabilitation coordinator, with the injured worker as the client; it does not matter who is, and will continue, to pay for the insurance. At this time we are often contacted to investigate a claim, to investigate fraud suspicions, to 'prove' a fraud.

As a licensed private investigator, a private detective, we are engaged by the employer to investigate suspected Gold Coast WorkCover fraud. Often, when we are engaged, the task is to conduct WorkCover surveillance, private investigator surveillance, to compare real world restrictions displayed, with those claimed, to confirm or deny suspicions. This surveillance is conducted over a block of days, weeks, or months, depending on the exposure, the evidence gathered, and the information available. What we do is legal. The evidence obtained can be used for a court, tribunal, or negotiation. We investigate for the Government insured, and the privately insured. We are a Gold Coast WorkCover fraud investigator service; you suspect, we investigate suspicion, verify facts, gather evidence, and report to you, discretion assured.

Indicators of fraud include a lack of recovery, a changing injury, a person who gets worse not better, a person who refuses to engage in return to work activity, or promptly injures themselves during such activity, an uncontactable person, an employee who changes address without advising you, who refuses to engage in return to work activities, or where information comes to hand that the employee is active, has started their own business, is working elsewhere, whilst claiming WorkCover. When you suspect fraud, when you are exposed, you need a licensed private investigator, a private detective, a WorkCover investigator, to investigate suspected WorkCover fraud on the Gold Coast, to gather evidence, contact us.

At times the issue for the employer become what to do with the evidence. Where there is clear evidence of fraud, you may go to the fraud investigators of the insurer; your evidence may prompt further actions, by them. You may also choose to supply the evidence to your own solicitor, where the matter is obviously proceeding to a civil claim; be aware that the courts have made some unusual decisions at times, even with clear evidence the subject does not have the claimed restrictions. We always recommend going back, for at least a second period of surveillance, to gather further evidence, and to show that the incident was not the result of the subject having a 'good day', or week, when observed. To prove fraud, WorkCover fraud, is expensive, however it is cheaper than the cost to business of fraudulent claims, and the rise in insurance premiums.
