In Victoria, workers are legally required to notify their employer of a workplace injury within 30 days of the incident occurring or from the date the injury or condition (such as a repetitive strain or psychological illness) was first discovered. While notifying the employer within this 30-day window is critical for a smooth processing timeline, you should still submit a formal claim as soon as possible even if that initial timeframe has lapsed, as exceptions can sometimes apply under specific statutory discretion guidelines.
