Reporting An Injury

How do I report an injury and lodge a claim?

What should I do when an injury occurs?

• Ensure your employee receives appropriate medical treatment immediately.
• Notify CGU as soon as possible after becoming aware of an injury in your workplace. The earlier you notify us, the sooner we can provide assistance with managing the claim.

Initial notification of injury

Providing initial notification of an injury couldn't be easier with CGU's .Live initial notification of injury system. If you're new to online notification you can access a demonstration and quick reference guide or speak to your CGU Account Manager.

You can also notify us of an injury via email, fax or posting an early notification of injury form to CGU.

How do I lodge a claim?

You must complete, sign and date an Employer’s Report Form and send it with the employees completed Workers Compensation Claim Form 2B and their medical certificate to CGU Workers Compensation.

What should I do following an injury?

• It’s important that you investigate the incident and identify a solution to ensure a similar injury doesn’t occur again. This should become part of your organisational OHS system.
• If the injured worker is unable to immediately return to their pre-injury role, identify suitable duties that you may be able to provide within your workplace.
