Lodging a response

To file a response, you must lodge a Form 3A – Employer Response to Contractual Benefit Claim, in the Registry of the Commission in person, by online lodgement, by email or by post within 21 days of service of the application.
Filing a response gives you an opportunity to provide your reasons for opposing the application. For instance, if you believe that the application does not fall within the Commission's jurisdiction, you may contest the application on jurisdictional grounds.
You are not required to have a representative and can represent yourself. For information on representation and representing yourself, please click here.

What happens next?

After you have filed your response, the Commission’s Registry will provide a copy to the applicant and a copy to you for your records.
The matter will be allocated to a Commissioner, you will be contacted by the Commission and the matter will be listed for a conciliation conference.
