Welcome to the Medical Panels SA website
Medical Panels SA is a new statutory authority established under Part 6C of the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986.
Medical panels have been established under this Act to answer medical questions that arise when there is a disagreement or uncertainty about aspects of an injured worker’s medical condition.
When a person is referred to a medical panel, they will meet with and be examined by a panel of doctors who will then make a decision about the question(s) that have been referred. There is a 60 day statutory timeframe in which decisions must be made.
A decision of a medical panel is final and binding on all parties.
