Taxpayers are facing a hefty bill for rare but significant coronavirus vaccine injuries, with at least 10,000 people planning to claim under the federal government’s no-fault indemnity scheme.
Services Australia is building an online portal, to be launched next month, for uncapped claims above $5000 from those who suffered injury and loss of income due to their COVID-19 vaccine, with compensation for medical costs and lost wages to be paid by the government.

Over 10,000 Australians Planning to File COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Claims
by Daniel Y. Teng
Around 10,000 Australians are planning to file compensation claims for injury or loss of income resulting from COVID-19 vaccines.
Since Sept. 6, residents have begun registering their interest to make a claim under the federal government’s no-fault COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme, according to a Department of Health statement issued to The Epoch Times.
The scheme—announced in late August—will cover the costs of injuries A$5,000 or above. But claimants will need to have received a vaccine approved by Australian drug regulators and suffered a recognised “adverse event.”
“The recognised side effects to the COVID-19 vaccines are included in the approved Product Information and include thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) associated (blood-clotting) with the AstraZeneca vaccine and myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the Pfizer vaccine,” a Department of Health website stated.
Individuals need to have been hospitalised for claims between A$5,000 to A$20,000 for at least one night. They must also provide medical documentation of the injury and evidence of medical costs and lost wages.
