Why work at Medical Panels?

Medical Panels provides an exciting opportunity to develop new skills and enhance capabilities in a team-oriented and intellectually challenging environment, while making an active contribution to the community.

Medical Panel work is sessional and provides a unique flexibility to schedule appointments and complete assessments around practitioner availability through face-to-face and online methodologies.

"The flexibility is fantastic." Dr Andrea Bendrups – Rheumatologist

Medical Panels provides an induction program, ongoing mentoring and professional networking opportunities with practitioners across a wide range of specialties. Specialised impairment assessment training can be completed once appointed.

Medical Panellists are supported and encouraged to create lasting relationships, allowing them to continue to reap the rewards of participation well beyond their term of appointment.

What are Medical Panels?





Medical Panels Are Expert Panels Of Medical Practitioners Drawn From a Wide Range Of Specialty Areas Statutorily Appointed As a List Of Eligible Members (the List) By The Victorian Government. From The List, The Convenor Of Medical Panels Puts Together Groups Of Practitioners To Form Medical Panels To:

conduct medical consultations and examinations
comprehensively analyse the medical information
apply the facts to medical questions relating to workers' compensation or other personal injury law, and make a final and binding decision.

Medical Panels perform a different function to independent medical examiners or other medico-legal work. Individually convened Medical Panels function as independent tribunals, and Panel Members are accorded the same protection and immunity as a judge of the Supreme Court in performance of his or her duties.
