Medico-Legal Reports
About our Medico – Legal Reports
Lighthouse Health Group is a leading provider of medico-legal assessments and reports, with direct access to a wide network of highly qualified clinical nurse consultants and allied health professionals. We specialise in producing high-quality, comprehensive medico-legal reports.
Our strong partnerships with law firms, insurance providers, and financial planners have led to the development of Personal Care, Equipment and Nursing Services Reports that provide accurate, detailed costings and recommendations for individuals with complex, lifelong needs.
All members of our team are experienced and readily available to assess clients and report on their current and future needs relating to treatment, nursing care, equipment, housing, and rehabilitation.
Our Clinical Approach
Our consultants don’t just write reports — they remain active in case managing people with disabilities across both hospital and community settings. This ensures that all recommendations are grounded in real-world, up-to-date clinical practice using evidence-based and best practice approaches.
We believe that the most qualified professionals to make recommendations regarding personal and nursing care are Registered Nurses with extensive experience in disability and rehabilitation nursing. Our multidisciplinary team—including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and clinical nurse consultants—collaborates closely to develop a holistic understanding of each client’s total care needs.
All clinical nurse consultants at Lighthouse Health Group are members of the Australasian Rehabilitation Nurses Association. Each has a deep understanding of the complex medical needs faced by people living with disabilities in the community and can accurately assess the long-term impacts of disability complications.
