This User Guide will assist staff from the Department of Education lodge a claim online using eClaims.

This is the Two Step process (claim initiated by staff member and submitted direct to authorised person)

Step 1: Employee fills out claim form on intranet

This is the first page presented:

Step 1 screen a

The second page of the claim form contains questions that play an important role in the progression of the claim form submission, specifically:

  • ‘Claim Type’: An option must be selected from the drop down list, please refer to the information icon near this field for a description of the choices. If ‘Property in Transit’ is selected the ‘Site Representative/Division/Head Office’ has a default selection.

IMPORTANT: This selection determines the questions that appear as you progress with the claim form.  Once you move onto the remaining pages in the claim form it is not possible to come back to this field on the ‘Personal Details’ page and change the selection made. If an incorrect option is selected the current claim form must be deleted by ICWA or Department of Education Commercial and Contracting Services department, and a new claim form must be created.

  • ‘Site Representative/Division/Head Office’: The school the claim relates to must be selected if an option is required.  When a selection is made it displays the Schools Online email address that will be used to enable the final stage of the submission process (Step 2) to be completed. If ‘Property in Transit’ was selected the ‘Site Representative/Division/Head Office’ has a default selection.
  • ‘Person Completing Claim Form’: Enter the details of the employee who is creating the claim form.  The email address is to be their individual work email address, it must not be the same as the email address listed in the above ‘Site Representative/Division/Head Office’ field.
