Yes, time limits apply when filing a workplace physical or sexual assault claim, depending on the type of claim. For workers compensation, you must report the incident to your employer immediately and file a claim within six months. Extensions may be granted in certain cases. If pursuing a civil claim against the perpetrator or employer, you generally have three years from the assault date (or when the injury was discovered) to seek damages.

Under the Victims’ Support Scheme (NSW), different time limits apply depending on the type of financial assistance requested. For example, economic loss claims must be filed within two years for adults, while no time limit applies to child victims.
