Can I claim for travel costs to or from medical treatment?
If you need to travel to see a doctor or obtain medical treatment, the insurer will pay necessary and reasonably incurred costs.
You need to keep a record of the mileage if you use your own car, or receipts if you use public transport – and claim reimbursement directly from the workers compensation insurer.
Travel associated with medical treatment or service undertaken on or after 1 October 2005 will be reimbursed at 55 cents per kilometre.
