How to join a class action in Australia

1. Check the group definition. Every case has a court-set definition of who is included, usually based on being a customer or user during a specific period.
2. Register with the law firm. Registration is free and does not commit you to costs. It is how you get counted and kept informed.
3. Gather your evidence. Breach notification emails, account records, invoices and any out-of-pocket losses all help support your claim.
4. Watch the deadlines. Settlement schemes often have a registration cut-off. Miss it and you can be excluded from payment even if you were in the group.

ClaimCheck is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. No outcome or compensation is guaranteed. See our not legal advice page.
