The Stakeholder Representative Consultation Group (SRCG) responsible for drafting the Third Edition Impairment Assessment Guidelines is facilitating a review of the medical chapters (Chapters 2 to 16).
SRCG - Recommendations and Draft Chapter Consultation - Phase One 4684KB
Twelve sub Committees have been formed to review the medical chapters, comprising 55 doctors who are impairment assessors or representatives from Medical Colleges.
The outputs of the reviews include recommendations to the SRCG, and in some cases a first draft of proposed amendments to the medical chapters.
The consultation document provided has been developed by the working groups, and is a very early version of content for the draft Guidelines for consideration. As it was put together by different working groups, some of the terms and languages are yet to undergo technical review. There is still ongoing work on Chapter 1 occurring. Please consider this very much a working draft.
Part of consulting early with stakeholders is that this is a working document. The terminology is yet to be finessed.
Further information about this stage of consultation is provided in the attached document, along with the recommendations and proposed changes to the following chapters:
- Chapter 8 – Respiratory system
- Chapter 10 – Visual system
- Chapter 11 – Haematopoietic system
- Chapter 12 – Endocrine system
- Chapter 13 – Skin
- Chapter 14 – Cardiovascular system
- Chapter 16 – Psychiatric disorders
Provide feedback by Friday 28 July
SISA Members Please complete this online form to provide feedback on any of these chapters by Friday 28 July 2023.
