Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays for a WorkCover consultation in WA?
Once a workers' compensation claim is accepted, medical accounts are billed directly to the employer's insurer. For initial consultations prior to claim acceptance, accounts may be covered by the patient or employer depending on arrangement.
What is included in a standard Pre-Employment Medical?
A standard PEM includes blood pressure, vision screening, urine dipstick analysis, cardiovascular/respiratory examination, musculoskeletal evaluation, and medical history review. Additional tests like spirometry or drug screening can be added as required by the employer.
Can I choose my own GP for a workplace injury claim?
Yes. Under Western Australian WorkCover legislation, injured workers have the right to choose their own treating medical practitioner for ongoing injury management.
How long does a commercial driver's license medical take?
A commercial driver medical examination typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, covering visual acuity, field of vision, cardiovascular assessment, and medical condition reviews in accordance with Austroads guidelines.
Do employers receive full access to a patient's medical history?
No. For pre-employment medicals, employers receive a functional clearance summary stating fitness for duty and any required job modifications. Patient medical history remains confidential unless relevant to core job performance and consented to by the candidate.
