For further information, please visit our FAQ page.

Document Requirements

There are two ways you can make a claim; either come into the office and complete the necessary paperwork or download it from the web site, complete the paperwork and mail the originals to our office. Every claim must be accompanied by the following documents:

• Member’s Claim Form confirming your personal information, 9-digit Tax File number and bank details.
• Separation Certificate or Letter of Termination from your last employer (we will not be able to process your claim until we receive written notification of your termination date from your last employer within the building and construction industry)
• Certified copies of 100 Points Identification (front and back) (for example Driver’s License, Passport) and Bank Statement (we do not need to see your transactions or balance, but we do need to see that the bank account is clearly under your name).
• Statutory Declaration and your signature witnessed by an authorized person (see 100 Points Identification guidelines).

Once you have completed the required paperwork, it is recommended that you e-mail us a copy so that we can check to make sure they are completed correctly before posting the originals to us.

Claim documents received via post that contain errors, will have to be re-completed and re-posted before your claim can be processed.

Member’s Combined Claim Form

You’ll need to let us know your tax file number if you want 32 cents in the dollar deducted rather than 47 cents by providing us this information within the Member’s Claim Form. Do not use an Australian Business Number (ABN) as we are required to deduct the maximum marginal rate of tax if no tax file number is quoted. This at present is 47 cents in the dollar.

Change of Address Form

If you’ve changed address from when you became a member then let us know so all correspondences are received timely by completing a Change of Address form.
