Medical Panels

Medical Panels are constituted pursuant to the Accident Compensation Act 1985 and the Wrongs Act 1958.

A Medical Panel may be asked to provide an Opinion where there is disagreement or uncertainty about aspects of a WorkCover related injury or medical condition.

A Medical Panel may be asked to provide a Determination where there is disagreement or uncertainty about the degree of impairment resulting from an alleged Wrongs Act injury.

A Medical Panel Opinion or Determination on a medical question must be accepted as final and conclusive.

As a Medical Panel has the status of a Tribunal it is inappropriate for the Convenor of Medical Panels to enter into correspondence with any party concerning a Medical Panel Opinion or Determination.
