Bring photo ID, Medicare card, claim details if available, employer/insurer paperwork, medication list, and any previous scans or reports relevant to the injury.

Follow-up frequency depends on injury severity, work demands and response to treatment. Your clinician will set a practical review schedule and adjust it as you improve.
