It is important you notify GIO on 13 10 10 of any work-related injury or illness within two days of becoming aware of the injury. Once an injury has occurred you must record the injury or illness in your Register of Injuries. You are required by law to keep track of work-related injuries and illnesses and acknowledge this registration in writing to the worker. The minimum information required to notify GIO of a new injury is your contact details, your workers compensation policy number, your worker's name, address and date of birth and details of the incident. We encourage regular contact between an injured worker and their employer to ensure all parties work together to achieve the best outcome.
