Victorian ombudsman – WorkSafe and complex claims – response to 2016 report

Victorian ombudsman – WorkSafe and complex claims – response to 2016 report

February 15, 2020

I have edited this report for IMEs, especially IMEs. The report looks at the response of WorkSafe to the 2016 report.  This report has a wider focus than IMEs but I have edited it to look at that section.  I have included all the recommendations.

The report is scathing about some IME reports and the response of WorkSafe and Agents to complaints about reports.  A number of recommendations were made including providing a fee for complex claims, training re aspects of opinions such as work capacity etc.  However, as I have written in my draft response it fails to recommend comprehensive training for IMEs.
