An Independent Medical Examination (IME) is an impartial assessment performed by a SIRA accredited medical expert within the NSW Workers Compensation Scheme.

The IME’s that IMMEX supports include:
- Occupational Physicians
- Musculoskeletal Physicians
- Orthopaedic Surgeons
- Rehabilitation Physicians
- Psychologists
The Assessment will include:
- Advice on accepting the claim
- Insurers ongoing liability
- Workers level of capacity for employment
