Fee schedules

Fee schedules are developed by WorkCoverSA in conjunction with the relevant professional associations and then published by the Minister in the Government Gazette. Copies of the Government Gazette are available from the Government Gazette website: http://www.governmentgazette.sa.gov.au

Item numbers

When preparing an account for a workers compensation claimant providers must use the correct item numbers and charge no more than the scheduled fee. The scheduled fee is the maximum fee payable for specific services. If a provider charges more than the scheduled fee, WorkCover will reduce the charge.

Please note: providers may be liable for penalty under the Act if they knowingly overcharge for services provided to claimants.
