It is important to notify CMA or Uniting Resources Insurance Department of any claim or potential claim as soon as practicable and appropriate action should be taken to minimise the damage and /or loss.

Do not admit liability, even if you think you are at fault. This may prejudice the insurer’s chances of recovery and may result in a reduced settlement.

Incident / Claim Forms can be downloaded from either CMA website (click on the UCA icon) or from the Uniting Resources website on the Intranet.
