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 our 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 need to:
- immediately notify your employer
- seek medical attention from your treating doctor who may issue a Medical Certificate
- obtain and complete a Claim Form and forward the required form along with the original copy of a 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, assess the claim and notify them of the liability decision. QBE's Injury Management program will provide a coordinated program to address all aspects of injury management.
For assistance in completing your claim form, please contact the QBE Hobart team direct on 03 6237 3866.
