Provider panels
Provider panels are made up of independent medical, allied health and legal professionals. They give advice and support to our people and injured workers.
This might include:
- advice on medical terminology, diagnosis and prognosis
- return to work support
- legal advice and common law claims management
- WorkCover internal training.
We've set up several panels to provide these speciality services. Learn more about each panel in the section below.
Join a panel
If you want to join a panel, you can apply through our open market tender process. This means any qualified person can submit a bid to be on a panel.
Bids are only accepted through an active tender process using the QTenders website. Simply register and activate alerts for tenders that interest you.
Submissions are competitively assessed and selection is guided by the Queensland procurement policy.
Panel term
Panellists are appointed for a limited time period. The length of the contract is different for each panel but generally 2-3 years. All panellists must reapply as part of new tenders if they want to continue on the panel.
