Practical, professional support for South African employers – from the moment a workplace injury occurs through to claim administration and follow-up.
Services
Six responsibilities, administered on your behalf
Injury on Duty claims administration
From the initial incident report to claim finalisation, we manage the administrative process on your behalf, ensuring documentation is submitted accurately and timeously.
COIDA compliance support
Helping employers remain compliant with the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act through administrative guidance and ongoing support.
Compensation Fund administration
We liaise with the Fund, monitor claim progress, submit outstanding documentation and keep you informed at every stage.
Employer registration & Letters of Good Standing
Registration, annual returns and Letters of Good Standing, so statutory obligations are met before a tender or a main contractor asks for proof.
Claim tracking & progress reporting
Regular follow-up on active claims with status updates and reporting, giving employers visibility throughout the claims process.
Employer support
Professional assistance for employers, HR departments and payroll teams whenever workplace injuries occur.
