Claims process and what to expect

Step by step guide

These are the steps you should take if you or one of your workers become injured at work.

Stage 1: Someone becomes injured or ill because of work

The worker's health is the most important thing. If an accident happens make sure you receive appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

Stage 2: Decide if you want to make a claim

You can choose to make a claim to cover many out of pocket expenses and loss of income. If your injury is the result of a motor vehicle accident, you must also report the accident to the police.

Stage 3: Continue to plan for a return to work

It's important that workers and employers communicate with each other regularly and you plan for a safe return to work together.

Stage 4A: If the claim is accepted

Returning to work after an injury or illness isn't always easy. But it can help you to recover sooner and return to your normal life.

 

Stage 4B: If the claim has been rejected

If your claim is rejected you do have the right to request a review of the decision.
