If you are injured at work you must notify HR within 24 HOURS. If you don't, we are liable for fines and it may have an impact on your claim.

Over 50% of all injuries in the University are reported late. This breaches the OH&S Act and puts staff and the University at risk.

Report any work-related accident, injury or illness in writing to Human Resources as soon as possible. To do this use form 27.05a http://www.pers.mq.edu.au/Forms/27/2705a.pdf. This includes incidents on the way to or from work and work away from campus on University business.

Nominally you are expected to fill in this form and your supervisor completes one section. If a staff member is incapacitated or unable to complete the form within the stated period, the supervisor should complete the report and submit it to HR as soon as possible and no later 24 hours after the accident. You should keep a copy of the report.

Please contact Greg Nicol, Return to Work Facilitator (Tele: 9740) if you need further information or advice.
