State the question clearly

A useful instruction identifies the legal and vocational question the industrial psychologist is expected to address. The matter may concern employability, career progression, occupational alternatives, past and future earnings or the vocational effect of an injury.

Provide a coherent record

Relevant material may include identity and educational records, employment history, earnings evidence, medical and allied expert reports, accident information and documents that explain the claimant’s circumstances before and after the event. The precise document list should be confirmed directly with the appointed expert.

Explain important gaps

Where records are missing or employment was informal, say so early. A clear explanation helps the expert plan interviews, collateral research and alternative sources of evidence.

Protect confidential material

Sensitive records should be submitted only through the secure process agreed with the practice. The public website enquiry route is intended for basic case and contact details, not confidential case bundles.
