What we do

A CTP doctor assesses your injuries after a motor vehicle accident, documents the clinical findings, and issues the Certificate of Fitness that underpins your CTP claim. This is not a standard GP visit — CTP doctors understand the scheme requirements, the forms, and how to write reports that support treatment approvals. We also coordinate referrals to physiotherapy, psychology, and exercise physiology so your recovery is managed from one treatment plan.

Thorough injury assessment and clinical examination
Certificate of Fitness issued in the correct format
Working diagnosis linked to the accident
Treatment plan covering all required allied health
Coordinated referrals to physio, psychology, and exercise physiology
Ongoing review and updated certificates as you recover

Frequently asked questions

What happens at a CTP doctor appointment?
The doctor takes a full history of the accident and your injuries, performs a clinical examination, gives you a working diagnosis, issues a Certificate of Fitness, and outlines a treatment plan including any referrals to physio, psychology, or exercise physiology.
Do I need a referral to see a CTP doctor?
No referral is needed. You can book directly. If you already have a GP managing your care and want a second opinion or CTP-specific documentation, that is fine too.
How long does the first appointment take?
A first CTP appointment is usually 30 to 45 minutes. This gives the doctor enough time to take a thorough history, examine you properly, and explain the next steps clearly.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring photo ID, your CTP claim number if you have one, the police event number, accident details (date, location, vehicles), any scans or reports from other providers, and a list of current medications.
What is a Certificate of Fitness?
The Certificate of Fitness is the key medical document in a CTP claim. It records your diagnosis, your capacity for work, your treatment plan, and your expected review timeline. It is what drives treatment approvals and weekly payment decisions.
