Certificate of capacity for mental injury claims
A certificate of capacity for a mental injury, must:
- include a mental injury diagnosis in accordance with the latest version of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
- indicate if the injury has caused significant behavioural, cognitive or psychological dysfunction
Providing this information in the certificate of capacity helps eligible workers access their compensation entitlements faster. It also reduces requests from WorkSafe for more information.
