IME Doctors

Independent Medical Examiners (IME) are specialist medical doctors with qualifications and experience to assess injuries within their area of expertise. IME doctors include Psychiatrists, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons and a range of other medical specialists.

It is appropriate to refer for an IME assessment when the information required relates to:

• diagnosis of an injury reported by the worker.
• determining the contribution of work incidents, duties and/or practices to the injury.
• whether the need for treatment results from the worker’s injury and is reasonably necessary.
• recommendations and/or need for treatment.
• capacity for pre-injury duties and hours.
• the likelihood of and timeframe for recovery.
• capacity for other work/duties.
