Topic is: EPA009 Consultation C in SIRA NSW
The Intelligent Rebellion hosted a Think Tank Session on 17 February 2023 attended by industry professionals. We would like to thank the participants of the think tank session for their time, candour, and for contributing their vision towards a better future.
The topic of the Think Tank session was EPA009 Consultation C in the context of SIRA NSW Accredited Exercise Physiology Fees and Practice Requirements 2023.[1] And, so as expected, it was attending by majority Accredited Exercise Physiologists working in the SIRA NSW workers compensation scheme. A group of professionals who are simply trying their best to support the injured worker community with their recovery and rehabilitation, and to navigate through a scheme which at times can be challenging and frustrating.
I will acknowledge there was obviously a bias during the discussion. As with any group, we were limited by our knowledge, and our own experiences. A more diverse group would lead to an increase in perspectives. Say, if we had a medical doctor, an injured worker, a physiotherapist, or a claims management professional in the session, or any other combination of people, the discussion would have been different. The Intelligent Rebellion encourages diversity by design because we are acutely aware of these limitations. This is the reason for our Think Tank Sessions only requiring two criteria to attend, which are, 1) be human; and 2) be curious.
The main purpose of the session was to discuss ideas, share experiences, and to imagine and explore the possibilities. The group were asked to enter the think tank with a curious, open and amateur mindset. We encouraged diverse, creative, and emergent thinking in a safe and inclusive environment. The discussion points for the session were:
What is a complex case in relation to Consultation C?
Share your experience with requesting Consultation C
What feedback have you been receiving about Consultation C?
Is it possible to have a general consensus about defining Consultation C?
