GPS2 is a specialist opinion and assessment based service only – it is not a treating service.

The GPS2 Specialist reviews all clinical records, images and test results provided, interviews and examines the patient, liaises with the treating doctor and provides a consultation summary to the GP within 5 business days (on average) from the appointment date. In the majority of cases, we can offer an appointment within 10 business days of the referral.

The consultation summary will address diagnosis, treatment recommendations, capacity and prognosis. It will also address any other medical questions the treating doctor may have. GPS2 does not replace the relationship the patient has with the treating doctor or any other treating medical specialists.

GPS2 eligibility is for patients who have an accepted or undetermined claim under the ReturntoWork scheme. If the employer is a self-insured employer, we will seek prior approval from them for payment.

All GPS2 medical assessments are conducted by trusted and expert medical specialists in a friendly and supportive environment.
