About WCB

When you're hurt on the job, WCB-Alberta is there to help you get back to work and feeling like yourself again.

We were created by government to administer the Workers' Compensation Act for the province's workers and employers. Funded by employers, we provide cost-effective disability and liability coverage for work-related injury and illness. We compensate workers for lost income and coordinate the services they need to recover and return to work following a work-related injury or illness.

Working together with our partners, our focus is to significantly and measurably reduce the impact of workplace illness and injury on Albertans. By living our values of service, care, excellence, trust and fairness, we are working toward a safe, healthy and strong Alberta.
