Types of dust diseases claims we can help with
Silica diseases
If you've been diagnosed with a silica related disease from exposure to silica dust at work, you may be eligible for compensation.
Asbestos diseases
If you've been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease from exposure to asbestos at work or at home, you may be eligible to claim compensation.
Workplace diseases
Beyond asbestos and silica, we can help if you've been diagnosed with diseases caused by exposure at work, including cancerous diseases like lung cancer, nasal cancer and leukemia, and non cancerous diseases like occupational asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and black lung.
Dust diseases compensation claims
Making a claim
There are different options for compensation and each state and territory has its own laws that apply. Your claim will depend on where you live and where and how your exposure or dust disease occurred.
Compensation benefits
Depending on your dust disease and the law you're covered by, you could be eligible for compensation to help relieve the financial burden and help with expenses for medical treatment and therapies.
National Register
Documenting any asbestos, silica, dust, fumes and chemical exposure now can help with any claims in the future, in case you develop a lung or other dust-related disease later in life. It's free to register, and obligation-free as well.
Fees and costs
Our dust diseases lawyers offer 'no win, no fee', and if you choose not to proceed with your claim, your first consultation is free.
