The WorkSafe and WorkCover pages say a worker can ask to be assessed for permanent impairment, and the insurer may also refer the worker. The degree can be from 0 per cent to 100 per cent. A psychiatric or psychological permanent impairment is assessed only by the Medical Assessment Tribunal. The notice of assessment sets out the assessment, any lump-sum offer and the options. The dollar ranges are in the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Regulation 2025, which was not opened, so no amount is entered.
The pages do not state a rule for adding a physical score to a psychological score, and they do not state a one-assessment rule. Neither is applied here. The choice between the offer and damages is a later question.
