• Reimbursement (refund) of treatment, care and support and/or transport expenses

  There are two ways you can submit a request for a refund/reimbursement of approved treatment, care and support and/or transport expenses. Before you pay for the services, you should check your MyPlan so that you can be sure the expenses will be reimbursed. Expenses incurred without prior approval may not be reimbursed.

• Service Approvals

  We’re moving from Purchase Orders to a new process called Service Approvals.

  This new process will help make sure all the services you receive match your MyPlan. It’s all about supporting you better and meeting your changing needs.

  With Service Approvals, we’ll clearly list the service/s you’re receiving, how long it will last, who’s providing it, and how much it costs. This means less confusion and quicker approval times.

  If you have approved reimbursements, you will get a Service Approval that gives the details of the reimbursement, including what has been approved and how much it will be.

  Here are the key changes you need to know:

  • We won’t be issuing new Purchase Orders to providers anymore, but this won’t affect the services you are receiving.
  • We’ll use Service Approvals for new or changes to your services.
  • If your providers have existing Purchase Orders, they’ll still be used until they’re finished, or they expire.
  • You will receive a Service Approval if you have approved reimbursements.
  • We’re here to help you through this change. If you have any questions or need more information, please email us at requests@niis.qld.gov.au, or check out our frequently asked questions on our website here.

• Statutory declaration (if you have lost your receipt)

  If you have lost your receipt and wish to claim a reimbursement, a statutory declaration is required by the NIISQ Agency. The statutory declaration forms are located on the courts.qld.gov.au website at:

  You can find out more information here or refer to our information sheets:

  • Review of eligibility decisions
  • Review of decisions treatment, care and support

• External review

  If you are not satisfied with the outcome of an internal review, you can make a request within 28 days for your matter to be reviewed by an external review tribunal.

  • The Medical Assessment Tribunal (MAT) can review decisions that are medical in nature, such as whether an injury meets the medical requirements in the NIISQ eligibility criteria. To be referred to the MAT contact NIISQ at internalreview@niis.qld.gov.au or GPO Box 1391, Brisbane QLD 4001 letting us know you would like to be referred to the MAT. Once the request is received, the NIISQ Agency will be in touch to assist you through the review process.
  • The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) can review decisions that are non-medical in nature, such as whether the circumstances of an accident meet the legal definition of a ‘motor vehicle accident’. If QCAT is the appropriate external review body, you will need to complete a QCAT application (Form 23 – Application to review a decision) and lodge the application with QCAT within 28 days of receiving the internal review decision. Further information can be found on the QCAT website Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (qcat.qld.gov.au).

  More information about external review can be found in Chapter 6, Part 2 of the National Injury Insurance Scheme (Queensland) Act 2016.
