Overview

When managing WorkCover claimants on Avaana:

  • You do not need to invoice the insurer directly at any stage.

  • Invoices are generated automatically once the required booking information or forms are submitted.

  • Payments are processed through your connected Stripe account.


About Stripe

Stripe is a third-party financial services platform that enables businesses to accept payments, review transaction activity, and manage payouts and transfers.

For assistance with using Stripe or resolving account-related issues, please contact Stripe support directly.


How Automatic Invoicing Works for Bookings

For an invoice to be automatically generated for a consultation, both of the following must be completed:

  1. Attendance status must be marked as Attended

  2. Case notes must be submitted

You can confirm this from the left-hand menu:

Bookings → WorkCover Bookings

Look for:

  • Completed attendance status shown in green

  • Submitted case notes shown in blue

✅ Once both are completed, Avaana will automatically generate an invoice for that booking and send it to the insurer.

Invoices for Cost Recovery Services & AHTR Submissions


For:

  • Cost recovery services (such as report writing, case conferences, incidental expenses, records)

  • The first AHTR submission only

✅ Invoices are automatically generated once the relevant forms are submitted on Avaana. No additional invoicing action is required.

Viewing Invoices

You can access invoices in two locations on Avaana:

Method 1: Payments & Transfers Page

Navigate to the left-hand menu → Payments & Transfers

Here you can view:

  • Invoice number

  • Invoice generated date

  • Claimant's WorkCover claim number

  • Claimant's full name

  • Invoice amount

  • Payment status (paid/pending)

Option 2: Client List Page

Navigate to the left-hand menu → Client List page

Then:

  1. Locate the relevant claimant's name and click View Details to the right.

  2. Open the Invoices section in the top menu.

Downloading Invoices


To download an invoice to your device:

  1. Go to the left-hand menu and select Payments & Transfers.

  2. Locate and click the invoice number you want to download.

  3. A pop-up window will appear with the invoice details.
    At the bottom of the pop-up, click Download Invoice.

✅ The invoice will automatically start downloading to your device.

Filtering & Exporting Invoice Data

On the Payments & Transfers page

You can filter invoices by:

  • Payment status (paid/pending)

  • Service type

  • Claimant name

  • Date range

To export filtered results:

  1. Apply your filters

  2. Select the Export button on the right-hand side

✅ An Excel file will be generated containing the filtered invoice data.


This can be useful for:

  • Bank reconciliation

  • Financial tracking

  • Internal reporting

Stripe Payments & Payout Timing

Payments are processed through the Stripe account connected on the Payments and Services page.

First Stripe Payout

Your first payout is typically scheduled:

  • 7–14 calendar days after the first successful payment

This timeframe allows Stripe to complete:

  • Account verification

  • Risk assessment checks

Once Stripe sends the payout, funds may take an additional:

  • 1–3 business days

to appear in your nominated bank account, depending on your bank’s processing times.


Ongoing Stripe Payout Schedule

After the initial setup period, and unless you’ve changed your payout settings, Stripe generally sends domestic payouts on a regular schedule of:

  • 2-business-day rolling schedule


Viewing Payment Breakdowns in Stripe

To view individual transactions into your stripe:

  1. Log into your Stripe Dashboard

  2. Navigate to the Payments tab on the left-hand-menu

  3. Click on the specific payment amount. You'll see:

    • Summary → the transaction ID, payee details, any associated fees, and processing status.

You can check which payments were included in a payout sent to your bank account in Stripe.

  1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard

  2. Go to Balances

  3. Click Payouts

  4. Select the specific payout amount. You’ll see:

    • Summary → the deposit date, the associated bank account in Australia, and the Trace ID.

This helps you track where the payment came from and how Stripe calculated the final amount deposited to you.
