If your claim has been accepted AND you have a claim number, please provide this to our reception team and we will bill these third parties directly.
If you do not have a claim number or your claim is yet to be accepted, we ask that you pay for your consultation and claim a refund from workcover or T.A.C. until your claim is accepted.
