Personal Injury Strategic Claims Management

When a person is injured due to work related or a motor accident related injury and unable to work, injury insurance schemes aim to provide appropriate support and enable recovery. The Personal Injury Strategic Claims Management course will advance your knowledge of different claims management strategies and techniques to improve personal injury compensation schemes.

Monash School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (SPHPM) and the Personal Injury Education Foundation (PIEF) have partnered to create a unique offering that leads to a postgraduate pathway for people working in the workers’ compensation and motor accident compensation industries in Australia, New Zealand and globally. This pathway will provide scheme participants with the opportunity to enrich and enhance the depth of personal injury management knowledge and skills.

In this nine-week course, you will gain an advanced understanding of different claims management strategies and techniques available to improve personal injury insurance schemes.
