What could your claim be worth?

Start with what happened. Each estimator asks about two minutes of questions and returns an indicative range for a claim of that kind in Queensland. It is a starting figure, not a valuation — the medical evidence is what decides one.

Choose your situation

Which of these is closest to what happened?

Queensland runs a different scheme for each kind of claim, and the questions that matter differ with it. Pick the nearest one; if two look close, either will give you a sense of the range.

A range is not an answer.

An estimator works from what you can tell it in two minutes. What a claim is actually worth turns on medical evidence, your work history and the scheme that governs it — and every scheme has a deadline running while you decide. Tell us what happened and we will say plainly whether there is a claim in it.
