Fatal claims

We understand it can be a difficult time when you need to make a claim for a fatal injury, and that's why we take those claims over the phone, rather than online.  Please call us on 1300 362 128 to lodge a fatal injury claim.

What is next?

We may SMS the injured worker their claim number when we receive the claim (if a mobile number is provided). After you lodge a claim, we have 20 business days to make a decision on the claim, but we decide most claims within five days. If the claim is accepted, it may be managed by one of our customer service centres to assist with return to work. If you have any questions about your claim, call us on 1300 362 128.
