Conditions for using electronic PMC

Definitions

In these terms and conditions:

  • "PMC" means a Prescribed Medical Certificate.
  • "PMC web pages" mean sections of the WorkCover website which facilitate the submission of a PMC electronically.
  • "Terms" means these terms and conditions (as may be amended from time to time)
  • "We", "us", and "WorkCover SA" mean the WorkCover Corporation of South Australia and its officers and employees.
  • "You" and "your" mean any person applying to be registered as a user of the PMC web pages or who we have authorised to use the PMC web pages.

Scope of terms

These terms govern your submission of a PMC electronically and use of the PMC web pages. By submitting an application to be registered as a user of the PMC web pages, or by using or attempting to use the PMC web pages (collectively called "use") you agree to be bound by these terms as amended from time to time and also to the General Terms and Conditions of Use of WorkCover SA’s website as amended from time to time.

Application

You may apply to use PMC web pages by submitting a properly completed application form to us. WorkCover SA may require you to provide further information in support of your application. WorkCover SA will, however, be under no obligation to accept any application.

You warrant that all information you supply to us, or which you submit to our website is complete and accurate. If you become aware of any error or omission after you have made an application, or if there is any change in the information provided to us in the application or which you submit to our website (for example, your registration with the Medical Board of South Australia is suspended or cancelled) you agree to notify us immediately in writing of that change.

Acceptance of application

If we accept your application, we will issue you with a unique username and password to enable you to use the PMC web pages and to submit PMCs electronically. You must not attempt to use the PMC web pages unless we have accepted your application and issued you with a unique username and password.

We may suspend or terminate, at any time and in our sole discretion, your right to use PMC web pages and your right to submit PMCs electronically at any time and without any liability to you.

By submitting information to us relating to your application to use PMC web pages or by submitting information in a PMC, you thereby authorise us to use that information for any reasonable purposes, including any purposes associated with the operation of the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986.

Password protection

Your username and password are confidential. You should take all reasonable precautions to safeguard your username and password at all times and you should not disclose them to anyone.

Certification

You warrant and certify that:

  • only you will use a password we issue to you to use the PMC web pages;
  • each PMC submitted by you will be accurate and complete and will accurately represent the statements provided to you by the worker;
  • you approve the information contained in each PMC submitted electronically by you;
    and
  • you will retain the acknowledgment of receipt generated following your submission of a PMC electronically and will produce that as evidence of receipt to us if we request you to do so.

Compliance with policies and procedures

In your use of the PMC web pages and your submission of PMCs electronically, you must comply with all policies and procedures which we have communicated to you or included in the PMC web pages. We may amend these policies and procedures from time to time.

Amendments

WorkCover SA reserves the right to amend these terms at any time. You agree to accept and comply with any amendments on and from the date on which we publish a notice of the amendments in the PMC web pages.
