The Compensation Fund is a government program managed by the Department of Labour that provides financial support to employees injured, disabled, or who become ill due to their work. It covers medical expenses, income replacement, and compensation benefits.

Any employee in South Africa who suffers an injury or contracts an occupational disease while performing their work duties can qualify for IOD claims. Employers are legally required to report workplace injuries to the Compensation Fund.

We help both employees and employers with the full IOD claims process – from reporting workplace injuries, submitting required documents, and liaising with the Department of Labour, to following up until the claim is finalized and paid out.

The processing time can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the completeness of the documents submitted. With proper guidance and support, claims are usually processed faster and with fewer delays.

The Compensation Fund typically covers medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, income replacement during recovery, and permanent disability or death benefits where applicable. We help ensure you access all the benefits you are entitled to.
