What is the work claim injury process?

Seek medical attention

Immediately seek first aid if needed, and see your own doctor.

Get a First Certificate of Capacity

Ask your employer or doctor for a First Certificate of Capacity. When it’s completed, keep a copy, and give the original to your employer.

Complete a Workers’ Compensation Claim Form

Keep a copy and give the original to your employer (along with the original First Certificate of Capacity).

Claim form submission

Your employer has 5 working days to complete their part of the Claim Form, and lodge it (and the First Certificate) with their workers’ compensation insurer.

Notify acceptance of the claim

Within 14 days of receiving the documents, your employer’s insurer must notify you that your claim has been accepted, is disputed, or is pending. It would be ‘pending’ if your employer’s insurer needs more information to accept or dispute your claim. Your employer or their workers’ compensation insurer may then refer you to a doctor that they choose, before deciding on their acceptance of your claim. There are time limits and rules surrounding these medical referrals, which your work accident lawyers can help you with.

Obligation-free claim review

If you have made a claim, Stephen Browne’s No Win No Fee* local lawyers can review it to ensure you maximise the compensation you're entitled to claim.

Complete the form, and our Client Service Team will contact you.
