  • TS sign off is always required, even in review cases- except when an prior WC suspension has been overturned.
    There is a new process where the ACC6217 is not required/can be signed off by review if it they have overturned a prior WC suspension. Promapp page has been updated with the below:

 

If Resolution Services have overturned a prior WC suspension decision under s117(1) of the Act or a vocational independence decision, and backdated incapacity claimed exceeds 6 months Review Specialists hold the delegation for this without need for Technical Services / Clinical Services engagement.  The Review Specialist involved should assist with this as part of their management of the review
