Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

An insurer may at any time require a claimant or a worker to submit to a personal examination by a registered person at a place reasonably convenient for the claimant or worker.

Subsection (3) applies if the claimant or worker—

fails, without reasonable excuse, to attend for the examination at the time and place advised by the insurer; or

having attended, refuses to be examined by the registered person; or

obstructs, or attempts to obstruct, the examination.

Any entitlement the claimant or worker may have to compensation is suspended until the claimant or worker undergoes the examination.
