25.01.2022 With the status of COVID-19 changing on an hourly basis and uncertainty growing in an number of areas MAG have provided the following guidance for assessment of claimants injuries and continue to monitor and be advised by industry experts. As you would no doubt be aware, assessment methods have, until now, traditionally required face to face contact. Its important to MAG (and to all of us, really) that our business as usual is able to continue whilst there are wider discussi...ons being held - and instructions starting to be given - around social distancing / isolation. Having consulted with various law firms, insurers and doctors it is important to understand that most assessments do not actually require physical attendance of our claimants. This methodology and the MAG solutions available not only appeases any concern we might have had but will ably assist the clients in ensuring this important IME step within the claims process continues in a timely and seamless fashion. The range of MAG solutions include video- and tele-conferencing capability which, with appropriate referral paperwork, is often is enough on its own. Where there is an actual requirement for specific physical examination - or if this is something that is a clinical requirement - then a modified functional capacity examination (FCE) can be completed by an attending physiotherapist or similar treating party. This can be undertaken before the assessment with the FCE result then forming part of the LOI / attached referral paperwork. Alternatively, this can be undertaken at the time of the assessment with a present treating practitioner who will follow your instruction. These kinds of technological and process solutions will allow us to keep working efficiently during these unusual times. If you would like me to arrange for a teleconference with our doctors please let me know at your earliest as there may be some lead time required for the set up Simone Ryan

21.01.2022 SECTION 32 CRIMINAL LAW REPORTS MAG provides Criminal Law reports under Section 32 of the Mental Health (Forensic Provisions) Act. These reports are commonly used to divert those who suffer from mental conditions away from criminal penalisation and towards getting help and treatment they need. A Section 32 can be granted in situations where someone was suffering from a mental condition at the time of the alleged offence, or can be shown to be suffering from an ongoing mental condition during the court proceedings.

02.01.2022 In Australia, roughly one million people suffer depression and two million suffer anxiety and despite two decades of investment in improving mental health services, the mental health of Australians has not improved. Unfortunately, people living in regional, rural and remote locations in Australia are at a significant disadvantage with access to mental health services substantially more limited than in major cities.
