Medico legal service providers are specialists who either focus solely on providing independent expert opinions and reports at the request of third parties (insurance companies; statutory authorities such WorkCover and the Transport Accident Commission; solicitors; courts and tribunals) or combine medico legal services with their therapeutic practice. They are often persons of eminence in their field.
There are several state-based societies representing medical practitioners in this field, such as The Medico Legal Society of Victoria, Queensland MedicoLegal Society and Medico Legal Society of NSW Inc. Many medical colleges also have Medico Legal Sections for their members with an interest in this area such as the Australian Orthopaedic Association - Medico-Legal Society.
This category is dedicated to medical specialist offering medico legal services. Other medico legal service providers (law firms and other health professionals) are listed under Complaints/Legal.
