CLARITY ABOUT COSTS

Know what it means for you.

Peace of mind starts with understanding the details. Learn what to ask about professional fees, expenses and the written agreement for your matter.

Understand No Win No Fee Terms depend on the arrangement. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Questions are
a good place to start.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

More questions, answered
Do I need to know whether I have a claim?

No. You can start by explaining what happened. Eligibility depends on your circumstances, the relevant state or territory and, for insurance claims, your policy. An initial enquiry does not commit you to proceeding.

What does “No Win No Fee” mean?

It describes a fee arrangement whose details must be set out in writing. Professional fees, expenses and other possible costs need to be explained separately. Read our fee guide and ask about the agreement for your matter.

Understand the fee arrangement
What should I have ready?

For the first enquiry, just your name and a way to contact you. You do not need to upload medical records, identity documents or a detailed case history.

How long do I have to make a claim?

Time limits vary by claim, jurisdiction and circumstances. Ask promptly about the rules that apply to you. Sending an enquiry through this website does not lodge a claim or stop a time limit.

Can I speak with someone instead?

Yes. Call 1300 144 878, or request a callback and provide the best number to reach you.

What forms will I need?

The claim type and scheme determine the forms. Use current forms from the relevant insurer or authority and check where they must be lodged. Our website form is only an initial enquiry.

What if I was partly at fault?

Fault is treated differently across claim pathways. Do not assume it prevents every claim, or that it is irrelevant to every benefit. Seek advice on the facts and the applicable scheme.

What support might be available?

Treatment, rehabilitation, income effects and other losses may be relevant, subject to the scheme or law. Ask which benefits are being considered and what evidence they require.

WHEN YOU’RE READY

next step.
