Contact your insurance company and the police as soon as possible (preferably the same day) in the event of a break in or burglary. Tell them what happened. The insurance company may post a claim form out to you, or they may send out an insurance assessor to work out how much you can claim. They may need details of where and when you reported the crime to the police. If you took too long to report the crime to the police, the insurance company may refuse to pay you.

Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation

If you are a victim of crime at work, you should ask about your worker's compensation entitlements as soon as possible after the incident. Your employer (or their claims agent), health and safety officer, your elected health and safety representative (if applicable) or a union official, lawyer or even your doctor should be able to help. If you were injured during the incident, you must report this to your employer.

Workcover Corporation also can help. You can ring Workcover on 13 18 55 during office hours.

Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation

Whenever an injury or death results from a motor vehicle accident, the third party and comprehensive insurers must be notified as soon as possible. Both the owner and the driver are guilty of an offence if this does not happen.

If your injury or loss involved the use of a motor vehicle you should seek further advice from a lawyer, your insurance company, Allianz SA - CTP, or the Motor Accident Commission in relation to compulsory third party insurance.
