To claim, the employer and employee should fill in a form which the employee should take with them to the hospital or doctor. This form contains all correct information about the employer, the employee and how the injury or disease was sustained or contracted. It serves as proof that the injury or disease sustained or contracted indeed occurred at work.

The doctor will provide medical reports, which will help assist the Worker's Compensation Act and Injury on Duty Fund in determining the liability of the claim. Medical reports are important as they detail the clinical description of the injury or disease and for further treatment or the date when the employee is fit to go back to work. They also describe permanent disablement if present.

We at North Coast Emergency Group offer our full range of services to all Injury on Duty patients, provided the employee is registered with the Department of Labour, the company is able to provide the completed Employers Report of Accident (WCI2), and the patient has their ID documents. Emergency medicine physicians are available to help Injury on Duty patients 24/7.

Injured employees will be managed from the beginning of the treatment after hospital or health care facility admission until they are discharged. A physician at North Coast Emergency Group will work alongside an injured worker case manager to monitor and check the progress of the injured or deceased worker.
