You need to give notice before starting a proceeding to get compensation. You must give the notice at least 20 working days before. The notice goes to different people depending on how much you are claiming. You send the notice to the Registrar if your claim is not too big. If your claim is bigger, you send the notice to the Attorney-General and the Registrar. The notice must have the required information in it.
