Lodging a claim

A WorkCover Claim form can be used to notify the claims agent of a workplace injury or seek compensation payments. Alternatively the information can be provided by telephone to Employers Mutual (1300 365 105) or WorkCover (13 18 55).

More information can be found on the WorkCover site where the claim form can also be accessed.

If the injured worker is employed by a self-insured employer, they will have their own case manager and follow their own internal processes.

Best practice tip

If the injured worker works for a registered employer, please encourage them to notify of an injury early through our EarlyClaim service by phoning 13 18 55. Early notification means early intervention and a greater likelihood of recovery and return to work.
