Medico Legal

The primary focus of my work is in relation to capacity to work, gratuitous care, aids and equipment. I invite letters of instruction that are specific to your client’s situation. I pride myself in providing thorough assessments of individuals’ functional abilities and limitations and how this relates to their engagement in occupation and life in general.

Having worked for over 25 years assisting people in workplace rehabilitation, with a multitude of injuries and job types, I understand the difficulties that people with injuries are likely to face, and how injury impacts on occupational performance as well as activities of daily living.

I have been undertaking IME work for 15+ years and have appeared as an expert witness in court on numerous occasions including via video-conference. In addition to civil matters, I have also appeared as an expert witness in the Industrial Relations Commission.

I am also happy to provide a free advisory service with regards to whether there is a current need for an occupational assessment with respect to any claims. I would also be happy to point you in the right direction in terms of what information might add to the cogency of my report (for example, job descriptions or other evidence from an employer or potential employer). 

My assessment rooms are at 4/63 Annerley Rd, Woolloongabba, with onsite parking available at the door. I therefore make myself available for home or work-based assessments at no additional cost, with up to 3 hours return travel, e.g. Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Coolangatta, and I am currently flying to Mackay. To secure a medicolegal assessment, or if you would merely like to talk over a claim, please feel free to call me on 0419 702 890 or email sven@focusrehab.com.au.
