Our Process
Step 1
Discovery Call
Please take a moment for a brief conversation to explore how we can collaborate and assist you in evaluating your present circumstances. We aim to understand your current situation and the insurance policies you have or may need and then determine the best way forward. Time is of the essence, and we aim to provide you with reassurance and a clear direction by the end of our call.
Step 1
Step 2
Gather Data
We thoroughly examine all aspects of your current insurance claims needs, delving into your policies, the involved insurers, and the specific definitions of cover. This step is crucial, as many claims face disputes stemming from time delays or inadequate details in the application. By prioritising quality data gathering, we ensure comprehensive research and the development of a high-quality plan to enhance the success of your application.
Step 2
Step 3
Claims Plan
We formulate a personalised plan designed as a roadmap for your claim, with a dedicated Claim Manager assigned to you. Thorough research is essential at this stage to craft the most accurate application, mitigating the risk of unnecessary delays, declines, or disputes. Collaborating closely with you, we ensure all requirements are met before progressing the claim. This strategic approach aims to optimise your claim's efficiency and success.
Step 3
Step 4
Implementation
We initiate your claim plan by actively engaging and assisting in all interactions with relevant parties, including your medical professionals, accountants, insurers, financial planners, and employers. Additionally, we establish communication with the claims assessors assigned to your claim, your support network, or any critical stakeholders involved in securing your claim approval. Serving as the primary point of contact throughout the claim process, we enable you to concentrate on your health, family, and next steps with peace of mind, free from distractions.

Guiding Principals
Our vision is straightforward: support when you are in need.
At TPD Claim Support, our guiding principle is simple yet powerful: claim support when you are in need. These words are a commitment deeply embedded in our business’s foundations.
Our success is built on a solid foundation of technical knowledge coupled with an unwavering dedication to assisting people in need.

In today’s complex world, navigating the intricacies of insurance claims requires a dedicated team with constant attention to detail. At TPD Claim Support, we immerse ourselves in these complexities daily. The nuances of insurers’ processes, legislative rules, and potential litigation risks are vast, and without comprehensive knowledge, crucial steps can be overlooked, resulting in delayed or declined claims. It’s a significant risk, with potential financial repercussions and the possibility of litigation or compensation to the client.
Recognising that most Australians cannot afford such risks, TPD Claim Support serves as a guiding force, navigating the rules, legislation, and time pressure on behalf of our clients. With rules and legislation constantly changing, overlooking critical steps can have substantial consequences.
Don’t learn the hard way— trust in TPD Claim Support to steer through the complexities, ensuring your claims process remains seamless, compliant, and free from risks.
Our team collaborates with a network of professionals to offer comprehensive services and support to our clients. Recognising the intricate nature of claims, we advocate for a holistic approach and accompany our clients through every process phase.
