Independent Comcare assessments you can trust
When workplace injuries affect employees under the Comcare scheme, clear and independent medical opinions are essential.
Comcare with Australian Specialist Hub
What is Comcare?
Comcare is Australia’s national work health and safety and workers’ compensation authority, administered by the Federal Government. It oversees the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act), which sets the standards for federal authorities, licensed entities, and employees of Commonwealth agencies.
The Comcare scheme covers a wide range of workplaces including:
Australian Government agencies
Telstra
Australia Post
National companies licensed under the SRC Act.
Why Comcare assessments matter
Comcare assessments must be completed by appropriately qualified and independent medical examiners. Examiners are required to apply the Comcare guides and demonstrate specialist skills and experience relevant to each case.
These assessments differ from standard independent medical examinations or impairment assessments. They involve unique requirements and reporting standards that are critical for compliance and case outcomes.
