Why Claims Doctor?
Most GPs avoid WorkCover and CTP management because of the paperwork, SIRA requirements, and complexity. Dr Laidlaw built Claims Doctor specifically to fill that gap — with a service designed from the ground up for same-day certificate outcomes and insurer-ready documentation.
Every consultation is focused on one thing: getting you the correct, compliant documentation you need to move your claim forward.
For Legal & Insurance Professionals
Dr Laidlaw has extensive experience in medico-legal documentation for WorkCover and CTP matters. All certificates are SIRA-compliant, produced during the consultation, and structured to meet insurer requirements. Independent medical examinations and medico-legal reports are available on request.
