Why preparation helps

A work-related injury can involve both a clinical assessment and a claim process. Having the right information ready can help the appointment go more smoothly and make it easier for the clinic to advise you on next steps.
You don't need to have everything perfectly organized, but gathering what you have before you contact the clinic can save time and help avoid back-and-forth.

Claim details

If a claim has been opened — for example, through a workplace insurer — it can help to bring the claim number, the name of the adjuster or case manager, and any correspondence you've received about the claim.
If you're not sure whether a claim applies or how to start one, mention that when you contact the clinic. The team can help you understand what may be needed.

Employer and insurer information

Details about your employer and the relevant insurer can also be useful — especially if documentation needs to be shared or confirmed. Bring contact information for anyone involved in coordinating your return to work where applicable.
Billing and documentation arrangements for workplace injury claims vary by claim and insurer. Contact the clinic to confirm the process rather than assuming a specific arrangement.

Prior assessment information

If you've already had a prior assessment, imaging, or other documentation related to the injury, bring that information along. It can help the practitioner understand the history of the concern.
Finally, be ready to describe how the injury occurred and how it affects your work and daily activities. Clear, plain-language description is enough — you don't need to diagnose yourself. An enquiry or appointment is not a guarantee of claim acceptance or coverage.
