Education

Supporting schools, universities, and childcare through complex claims

Education workers face a unique mix of physical and psychological injury risks. Manual handling of students and equipment, slips on campus, and the growing burden of stress-related claims create challenges that require clinicians who understand the duty-of-care environment educators work in.

Common injuries

The injury profiles we see most frequently in education workplaces.

  • Manual handling injuries from lifting students, furniture, and equipment
  • Slips, trips, and falls on campus grounds and in classrooms
  • Stress and psychological injuries from workload, student behaviour, and critical incidents
  • Playground supervision injuries — impact, overexertion, and falls
  • Repetitive strain from prolonged desk work and computer use
  • Voice strain and vocal cord injuries from sustained teaching

Industry challenges

What makes injury management in education harder than it should be.

  • Duty-of-care obligations that make return-to-work planning more sensitive
  • Managing claims around school terms, breaks, and exam periods
  • Large casual and contract workforce with inconsistent injury reporting
  • Psychological injury claims growing faster than physical injury claims
  • Tight budget constraints limiting rehabilitation program options
