Existing Disease Management
Providing support when workers attend onsite with pre-existing health conditions
Our telehealth service supports onsite medical teams when workers present with pre-existing health conditions. We understand the challenges of maintaining good health in remote or fly-in, fly-out environments, especially for workers who are managing chronic health conditions such as diabetes, asthma and mental health conditions.
Our role is to provide supportive medical advice and guidance while the worker is onsite, and to recommend follow-up and ongoing medical management from their treating General Practitioner.
If fitness for work questions arise, due to chronic health conditions, then we recommend involvement of the Injury Management Advisor and, where necessary, further review and assessment from the treating General Practitioner and/or a Medical Specialist. The aim is to assist workers to receive effective health management plans and to maintain their ongoing fitness for work.
