Medical Treatment

Listen to this Topic

The First Aid attendant will assess whether you do require additional medical treatment at a medical facility. If so, the First Aid attendant will notify your Supervisor and make transportation arrangements for you.
Injuries that are not noticeable at the time of an incident, e.g. strains, must be reported to your Supervisor by telephone as soon as possible when they present.

If you get out of hours medical treatment for a work-related injury or illness, you must notify your Supervisor at the start of the next scheduled workday / shift. This action will help to avoid problems with workers compensation should you make a claim in the future.

Prior to returning to work after a work-related injury or illness, you will need to present to your Supervisor a medical or Workcover certificate from your doctor stating that you are fit to return to pre-injury duties or able to undertake suitable / modified duties.
