The Return to Work Act 2014 mandates that Return to WorkSA engage in consultations with stakeholders before publishing a fee schedule.
The consultation paper from RTWSA, accessible here, outlines proposed adjustments and the methodology for calculating fees for medical services in the 2024-25 period, effective from 1 July 2024. Specifically, it covers:
- Attendance fees for medical practitioners
- Anaesthetic fees
- Fees for Independent Medical Examiners
- Fees for Permanent Impairment Assessments
We invite you to review the paper linked below and share your feedback via the following survey link:
AMA(SA) will compile your input and present it to RTWSA. This presents a valuable opportunity for you to contribute feedback, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients and appropriate compensation for medical practitioners for both clinical and administrative services, including those involved in complex and time-intensive consultations.
We encourage you to submit your feedback by 4 March 2024.
