Workers Compensation Claim Dispute & Review Request
Workers comp claim rejected, weekly payments stopped, treatment refused or a 'work capacity' decision made against you? A formal written dispute and request for review to the insurer that sets out the injury, the decision you challenge, your grounds and your medical evidence — and names the statutory review step and time limit that applies in your state.
What this document does
- A formal written dispute and request for review to the insurer that sets out the injury, the decision you challenge, your grounds and your medical evidence — and names the statutory review step and time limit that applies in your state.
- Records the facts that matter on paper: insurer / scheme agent (and employer), injury, date and connection to work, claim number, decision disputed and decision date, grounds and medical / other evidence.
- Sets a clear deadline and spells out what happens if they ignore it.
- Cites the right Act, regulator and tribunal for your state — all eight states and territories covered.
- You review the draft first; we only send it to the other party on your say-so.
What we'll ask you
Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.
- Which insurer or scheme agent made the decision? The name on the decision letter.
- Who is your employer? The business name on your payslip.
- Tell me what's happened — how you were hurt, what the claim has covered so far, and the reason the insurer gave for its decision.
- What's the injury or illness, when did it happen or get diagnosed, and how is it connected to your work? Include your job title and roughly how long you've worked there.
- What is your claim number?optional
- What kind of decision is it?
- What exactly did the insurer decide, and what date is on the decision letter?
- Why is the decision wrong? What do your treating doctor, specialist or doctor's certificates (the medical certificates that say what work you can do) say about your capacity and treatment, and what other evidence do you have (incident report, witnesses, payslips)?
- What are you asking for? For example: the insurer accepts the injury is work-related, weekly payments restart, treatment is approved, or the decision about what work you can do is withdrawn.
- If weekly payments should restart, from what date?optional
- Are you working at the moment?
- If you can put a figure on what's unpaid so far (missed weekly payments plus treatment you've paid for), what is it? Leave blank if you're not sure.optional
- Do you have the claims officer's or insurer's email? We can send the dispute straight to them once you approve it.optional
- You approve it before it is sent
