The Claims area of Injury Master allows you to:

  1. Add a new Claim to the Injury Master system
  2. View, add and amend details of Claims already in the system.

The purpose of the Claims section is to record all details of WorkCover claims, generate relevant documents such as Return to Work Plans and calculate workers compensation wage entitlements.

The Claims area is accessed through the Navigation Bar which can be found on the left-hand side of Injury Master.
