Workers Compensation
If you are injured, follow these steps to make a claim for workers’ compensation.
-
Immediately seek first aid and report the injury to your employer.
-
As soon as possible, see a doctor of your choice and ask for a First Certificate of Capacity.
-
Fill out a Workers’ Compensation Claim Form (available on the Worker forms page). If you have difficulty completing the form, first speak to your employer – if you are still unsure, contact Advice and Assistance on 1300 794 744.
-
Make a copy for yourself of the Certificate and Claim Form, and then give the original documents to your employer.
-
Your employer has five working days to lodge the Certificate of Capacity and Claim Form with their insurer.
-
The insurer will notify you within 14 days after receiving your claim form.
To make your first or subsequent appointment to see your Doctor about your injury, please phone 98921000
