Clinical Advisory Services Register

Overview

The TAC’s Clinical Advisory Services Register provides the TAC access and flexibility to engage highly experienced and qualified allied health and medical professionals for best-practice and specialist clinical advice across a wide range of disciplines. The register ensures the TAC is enabled to support the Make Every Day Matter Strategy by using suppliers for both internal claims advice as well as providing clinical input into strategic initiatives. Clinical Advisory Services supports the TAC’s internal claims management process by providing independent clinical reviews and advice on a referral basis.
