A highly skilled and sought-after Occupational Medicine and Medicolegal Practitioner with a passion for workplace injuries, and a strong track record of providing expert medical opinion that delivers optimal return to work and health outcomes.With more than 25 years Occupational Medicine, Workplace Health and General Practice experience, my passion has led me to fulfill various senior Occupational Health roles including Senior Doctor for Sonic Health Plus, Medical Director of Occupational Health for Healius, and now Chief Medical Officer of MEDirect. I’ve been privileged to work with Australia’s leading Workers’ Compensation Insurers, plaintiff and defendant law firms, employers from a wide range of industries- both public and private, the Coroners Court of New South Wales, and the NSW Workers’ Compensation Commission.As a SIRA Injury Management Consultant (IMC) since 1999, and a medicolegal consultant in the role as expert General Practitioner witness in cases of Medical Negligence, I have delivered thousands of expert opinion reports and conducted just as many peer-to-peer discussions with Treating Health Practitioners. Evidence-based medicine has recognised the best return to work and health outcomes are achieved when Medical and Allied Health providers work synergistically, and early. By reviewing the treatment and outcomes, and coordinating the efforts of all key stakeholders, I can play a valuable role in facilitating an injured person’s safe return to work.I’m also excited by technology-driven business models that improve outcomes while delivering cost and time efficiencies. MEDirect has done this in the medicolegal environment by connecting medicolegal practitioners and referrers directly through technology, and as Chief Medical Officer, I am proud to be part of Australia’s fastest growing way to do medicolegal assessments.If I can assist you with IMCs, Medicolegal Assessments, Fitness for duty examinations or advice on injury treatment, or information about MEDirect, please direct message me or make a booking.
