What is Medico-Legal?
Medico-Legal services involve the provision of medical examinations, reports and expert opinions from trained, independent medical professionals.
Such reports are used for a variety of legal purposes: for instance, assessing the veracity of an individual’s claim for compensation and/or reimbursement from insurers or organisations including the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and Worksafe.
What we do
Melbourne Pain Group are experts in the field of medico-legal. We specialise in musculoskeletal pain and psychiatric health.

- Employers – including those who self-insure.
- Solicitors – representing clients involved in a range of motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries and 3rd-party claims.
- Insurers – who deal with running the claims of injured workers.
