Healthcare Templates Medical FormsFillable Form AU SA332a, Carer Payment and or Carer Allowance Medical Report

Form SA332a is the Carer Payment and/or Carer Allowance Medical Report for a person 16 years or over, from Services Australia. The form says it is not a claim for Carer Payment or Carer Allowance: the claim is completed separately.

The form gives the carer these steps: complete your details at the top, make an appointment with a treating health professional, mark what the assessment is for, have the person being cared for (or their nominee) sign the authorisation to release medical details, and give the report to that person's doctor or treating health professional to complete.

The medical report itself must be completed by a health professional who is currently involved in the treatment of the person. The form lists a legally qualified medical practitioner, a registered nurse, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, a member of an Aged Care Assessment Team, and an Aboriginal health worker in a geographically remote area.
