What it is for

A one-page process checklist for the manager or supervisor who takes the report. It follows the NSW process step by step, including telling your insurer within 48 hours, so nothing is missed on a busy day. It describes the process; it does not give advice.

Who it is for

Managers, supervisors, HR and WHS staff, in private businesses and public-sector workplaces.

  • Employers
  • Government

What is on it

  • Tick-box steps from the first report to notifying the insurer
  • The 48-hour insurer notification step, with its SIRA source
  • Space to record dates and who was told
