Plus acc, or if your employer is accredited the info for any current claims can be accessed by any tom dick or harriet at the outfit contracted by your employer. My last claim like that the physio on assessment put down 'can't hunt or use firearms' as part of my injury consequences and under the 'path to healing' section for where I need to get back to. That's emblazoned over everything on that specific claim now, for anyone who opens the case files to see and also has a lot of other personal info like what my job was, movement times, address etc etc. That was an eye-opening moment for me - not impressed to be totally fair but it wasn't the physio's job it's just the system info security and privacy sucks.
