How do I make a claim?
The following checklist outlines what you need to do when making a claim.
Step 1 - Report your injury
Report any accident, injury or illness to your supervisor as soon as possible and in accordance with your employer's relevant policy and procedures.
Step 2 - Get a medical certificate
Go and see a medical provider and ask them to provide you with a medical certificate that gives a precise diagnosis.
Your medical provider can also provide a medical certificate for travel costs, household and personal care services, aids, appliances and modifications, incapacity benefits, and permanent impairment.
Step 3 - Complete a workers' compensation claim form
Ask your employer for a claim form, or print and complete this Claim for workers' compensation form [pdf].
Step 4 - Lodge the form with your employer
Give the form and all medical certificates to your supervisor or Human Resources section, or where this is not possible, you can send the form directly to Comcare, GPO Box 9905, Canberra, ACT, 2601.
