Tender Details
Tender Description
WorkCover Queensland is undertaking an Invitation to Offer (ITO) for WCQ372 Audiology Services.
WorkCover Queensland (WorkCover) requires injured workers to have a hearing test for industrial deafness claims. Industrial deafness is the loss of hearing caused by exposure to excessive noise over a period of time. The result of this hearing test is used to determine the Degree of Permanent Impairment attributable to noise-induced hearing loss sustained as a worker in Queensland.
If a worker’s hearing loss is caused by one-off exposure to excessive noise, they are treated through the statutory claims process and injured workers generally attend an audiologist referred through their treating GP.
WorkCover will be seeking audiology providers to service across Queensland. Regional providers are strongly encouraged to apply. All required regional and metro locations are available. Current panel members must reapply if they are interested in continuing to provide these services.
This tender is focused on establishing a panel of Queensland-based suppliers for industrial deafness claims only; however, does not exclude the referral for hearing loss claims if needed.
Suppliers are required to address any enquiries to the contact officer nominated for this ITO as documented in Part A - Invitation to Offer.
