Acute care
Acute treatment, in relation to a client, means:
- the first visit to a treatment provider for treatment for a personal injury for which the client has cover; and
- the following treatments if, in the treatment provider’s reasonable clinical judgement, the need for the treatment is urgent (given the likely clinical effect on the client of any delay in treatment):
- any subsequent visit to that treatment provider for the injury referred to in paragraph (a); and
- any referral by that treatment provider to any other treatment provider for the injury referred to in paragraph (a).
