Making A Claim
A guide for injured workers
If you suffer a work-related injury, you need to immediately notify your employer (as well as any other employers you may have) and complete the injury register at your workplace.
Make an early notification of the injury to QBE as soon as possible.
You can report any claim using the QBE First Contact form or contact your nearest QBE Workers Compensation Branch (your employer may make this notification also).
How to make a claim
To make a claim for a work-related injury you will need to:
- immediately notify your employer
- seek medical attention from your treating doctor who may issue a WorkCover Medical Certificate
- obtain and complete a Worker's Injury Claim Report and forward the required form along with the original copy of a WorkCover Medical Certificate to your employer.
If you have difficulty forwarding this claim to your employer, or your employer refuses to acknowledge receipt of the claim form, you can send it directly to your local QBE Workers Compensation Branch.
Once you have notified QBE of an injury, we will implement our case management strategies and assess your claim and notify you of the liability decision within 7 days.
For assistance in completing your claim form, please your local QBE Workers Compensation Branch.
