Can I make an application directly to the Work Health Court?
Before a worker can make an application to the Work Health Court, they must first apply for and complete the mediation process. Upon completion a mediation certificate is issued and this is required to be lodged together with an application to the Work Health Court. A worker has 28 days from the date he or she receives a certificate of mediation to make application to the Court. If outside the 28 days, the worker may apply to the Court to extend the time for making application. The granting of such extension is at the discretion of the Court.
