Employers must notify us within 48 hours of becoming aware that someone has sustained a workplace injury or when an incident has occurred.
The incident must be reported even if the injured person doesn’t intend to make a claim. This is important because if their injury becomes worse over time and they need to seek treatment, there will be a record of the incident which may assist the claims process.
Reporting an injury also enables you to track (and address) potentially hazardous tasks or equipment in the workplace. Any workplace-related injuries and illnesses must also be recorded in the register of injuries, which all workplaces are required to keep.
Notification of injury and claim forms are available within our forms and downloads page.
