Description
Are you an experienced specialist medical practitioner looking to make a difference to the lives of injured Queensland workers?
Apply to join the General Medical Assessment Tribunal or the Speciality Medical Assessment Tribunals – independent panels of medical specialists who determine the answer to complex medical questions in Queensland’s workers’ compensation scheme.
Tribunals are an integral part of the scheme, providing independent medical assessment of injury or impairment for workers’ compensation claims.
Tribunal work is conducted by a panel of three or five doctors sharing their expertise and is an excellent opportunity to work in a collegiate environment.
We are seeking expressions of interest from specialists across a variety of fields, including:
- Neurology/Neurosurgery
- Ophthalmology
- Dermatology
- Disfigurement
- Haematology
- Oncology
- Endocrinology
- Gastroenterology.
As a Tribunal member you can expect:
- remuneration for tribunal attendances
- intellectually stimulating work
- the opportunity to learn, interact and network with senior practitioners
- paid training in assessment methodology
- modest time commitment for busy clinicians.
Dependent on your speciality, tribunals require a small time commitment. For each Tribunal hearing, remuneration is available for one hour of meeting preparation time and three hours of meeting time.
Applications from women, regional and interstate specialists are encouraged and virtual attendances are available if required.
Application details: Visit worksafe.qld.gov.au/mat to apply, or for more information.
Applications close 26 July 2026.
