contains sufficient information to allow Comcare to appropriately assess the application and that it is accompanied by the required fee (as prescribed by the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Regulations 2019 Part 3).

If an application is complete and accompanied by the required fee, Comcare must process it within six months of receiving it. If Comcare requires the person to provide additional information in connection with the application, it will not process the application until the person provides that additional information.

Comcare will approve an application where it is satisfied that the applicant meets the Criteria for approval and is likely to be able to comply with the relevant Operational Standards. Comcare will inform the applicant in writing of its decision.

If Comcare decides to approve the person as a rehabilitation program provider, it can also impose additional conditions on that person's approval beyond what is in the Operational Standards.

If Comcare refuses to approve you as a rehabilitation program provider, you can have this decision reviewed by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

A person approved to be a rehabilitation program provider will be approved for a maximum period of three years (to 30 June of a renewal period). In order to continue to provide services beyond this date a workplace rehabilitation provider will be required to make a renewal application.

During the approval period, the rehabilitation program provider must participate in evaluations as required by Comcare in order to determine whether the provider is complying with the applicable conditions of approval.

Comcare is authorised by the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 and the Privacy Act 1988 to collect, use and disclose personal information.  If Comcare is unable to collect, use and disclose personal information, it may not be able to determine or approve your application. Comcare is unlikely to disclose personal information collected to an overseas recipient.
