Free services that may help you

You can access other support while you wait for us to assess your claim.

Get care while you wait on a claim

We may pay for you to have temporary access to health care while we are still assessing your claim for that care. We call it provisional access to medical treatment. 

Registration to participate has been extended to 30 June 2022. If you register your claim with us before that date, you can receive treatment under the program until 31 December 2022.
