Submitting a claim for Workers Compensation

Late reporting of injury and illness can delay the insurer's acceptance of your claim and payment of benefits.

If you sustain an injury or illness in the course of your employment:

  • Seek appropriate medical attention and obtain a NSW WorkCover medical certificate from your doctor.
  • Report your Incident or Injury as soon as possible to your supervisor and to OHSIM by using the online Incident and Injury Reporting system via myHRonline.
  • Report your injury/illness to the Workers Compensation Claims Officer at OHS & Injury Management on ext 14052.
  • Complete relevant insurer forms as instructed by the Workers Compensation Claims Officer and return these to OHS & Injury Management as soon as possible with your medical certificate.
  • Remember to keep your supervisor informed and submit copies of your medical certificates to them.
