50.7 Medical certification between standard review points

For intermittent periods between standard review points (at which point we would have specialist opinion) a certificate from a qualified medical practitioner is satisfactory.

For ongoing continuous incapacity, supported by specialist medical opinion, no further certification is required until the next scheduled specialist review.

Where the client is participating in a vocational rehabilitation plan the responsibility for obtaining any further medical certification lies with the Rehabilitation Coordinator.

Note:  more information on medical evidence is provided at 20.6.
