You must download our forms and fill them in so they are processed quickly. You can also electronically sign some of our forms. We have help available if you use assistive technology or need an interpreter.
The bereavement assistance you get depends on your situation. You can claim the payments online. Read about the payment you may get and what help there is when a child dies.
If you can’t claim online, download and complete the Notes and Claim for Bereavement Payment form.
In cases of stillbirth and infant death, your maternity hospital or registered midwife will give you the Bereavement Declaration. This will include a declaration for your attending doctor or midwife to complete.
