    Hi Everyone,

    I have started a Podiatry clinic within a facility that has 5/6 GPs.

    The GPs are a industrial clinic, who mainly see work cover patients.

    I haven't had a lot of experience with work cover / OHS :hammer:and would

    appreciate any recommendations or advice which would assist me in building my

    patient load.

    Thank you kindly.

    Not exactly sure what you are asking for Spur?

    Do you mean advice on attracting WorkCover patients?
    Getting in for referrals off the GP's
    Or in terms of registering with TAC and WorkCover, which can pretty much be done online if you print off and send off the forms to be a registeded healthcare provider with them

    TAC:

    Hi Spur, with workcover you will need extensive histroy taking not that you should not always do this, BUT when it comes time to writing reports they generally need to be very extensive.
    Good Luck!

    Cheers
