Our Comcare Lawyers in Canberra are Well Equipped to Help During Claims Process

Our Comcare team is well equipped to assist with any of the below stages in the Comcare claim process.  Here are a few hints and tips:

  • Lodgement of Claim: Promptly lodge your claim, especially for psychological injuries. While self-lodging is possible, it’s rife with pitfalls. Seek legal advice beforehand for competent guidance.
  • Receipt of Initial Decision: Comcare/EML/a Self-Insurer will accept or deny liability. If denied, seek reconsideration within 30 days. If accepted, maintain regular engagement and explore options for a permanent impairment lump sum at the appropriate time.
  • Requesting Reconsideration: Reconsiderations rarely favour claimants without legal representation. Craft a coherent request and supplement it with additional evidence, especially medical documentation, crucial for independent medicolegal assessments.
  • Receipt of Reconsideration/Reviewable Decision: If unhappy with the decision, move to lodge an application with the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) within 60 days. Seek advice from a lawyer early in this stage to navigate this critical decision.
  • Administrative Review Tribunal (ART Application): Lodge your ART application within a strict 60-day deadline. While designed for self-representation, the process is complex. Comcare/the insurer will be legally represented, we recommend that you should be too to provide you with the best possible chances of success. We specialise in ART matters, ensuring you’re equipped for a favourable outcome.
  • Federal Court Appeal and Other Appeals: Federal Court appeals are limited to errors of law, with a strict 28-day deadline to lodge the Appeal. Seek help to identify legal errors and assess your prospects. Understanding the nuances is crucial to avoid paying the insurer’s legal costs which can become an issue at this stage in proceedings.
