Please be advised that the Medical Panels office will be closed from 1:00pm on Wednesday 24 December 2025 and will reopen at 8:30am on Monday 5 January 2026.
You will still be able to send referrals (referrals@medicalpanels.vic.gov.au), and information or queries (info@medicalpanels.vic.gov.au) via email during this time, and we will attend to these once we return to the office.

Before your Panel hearing

Find out more about your Medical Panel hearing and what you need to do now.

We understand that you may be going through a difficult time or may be frustrated by the claims process, however to make sure that we can progress your referral as soon as we can, it is important that you attend and co-operate with the Medical Panel examination.

Understand what you need to do before your Panel hearing. To assist with this, we have produced 2 guides, providing information for:

  • workers
  • personal injury claimants.
