What is the role of the nominated treating doctor?
As an injured worker, you are required to nominate a treating doctor to oversee your injury management. This will normally be your treating GP. Where you can't nominate a treating doctor, the insurer may nominate a doctor to manage your injury.
The nominated treating doctor will certify your degree of fitness, make recommendations regarding return to work, and liaise with the employer, insurer and other treating providers.
