Rehabilitation assessments are undertaken prior to a Return to Work Plan being set up for an employee. These assessments provide a basis for whether rehabilitation is a suitable option.
Often assessments are conducted in the employee's home, but can include visits by the employee to the rehabilitation provider's offices and/or the employee's medical practitioner.
Injuries that occur to the employee during journeys to and from these assessments would be covered under this provision.
(F)“receiving money due to the employee under the terms of his or her employment, being money that, under the terms of that employment or any agreement or arrangement between the employee and the Commonwealth ... is available, or reasonably expected by the employee to be available, for collection at that place.”

|
A journey to the employer's Finance area to collect Travelling Allowance would be covered by this provision. |
Section 6 (1) (b) (vii) (F) specifically relates to monies due to the employee under the terms of his or her employment. Therefore, travelling to or from such an attendance for the purpose of collecting other payments from the Commonwealth not related to employment (such as payments under the Social Security Act) are excluded.
