Evidence as to work capacity for second or subsequent certificates
175 Evidence as to work capacity for second or subsequent certificates
For the purposes of section 44B(3)(a1) of the 1987 Act, a second or subsequent certificate of capacity must be—
in a form approved by the Authority, and
given by—
a medical practitioner, or
if the injured worker is receiving medical or related treatment (as defined in Division 3 of Part 3) for the injury by a physiotherapist or psychologist who is appropriately qualified within the meaning of section 60—the physiotherapist or psychologist.
Note.
Section 60(2C)(e) provides that the Workers Compensation Guidelines may specify the qualifications or experience a person requires to be appropriately qualified, including by providing that a person is not appropriately qualified unless approved or accredited by the Authority.
If a subsequent certificate covers a period that overlaps wholly or in part with a period covered by an earlier certificate, the later certificate prevails for the whole of the period covered by the later certificate except to the extent that the later certificate relates to a period before the later certificate was provided.
