Referral information
The Second Opinion Medicine service is a clinical support service available to all treating medical practitioners with patients in the Return to Work scheme for quick access to clinical advice from a medical specialist.
The treating medical practitioner retains patient care and is under no obligation to implement the recommendations, although it is strongly encouraged.
This is not a referral for treating and does not fast track a treating referral. It is a stand-alone once off service.
THIS IS NOT A MEDICO-LEGAL SERVICE
