Hi Joko, You can count Hellemans and Averis off that list. Acc Greymouth have not got an up to date list.
It is with much regret we found that the only honest Assessor, Dr Hellemans, has taken a year's sabatical. He was awarded a scholorship and is going to study Coaching in Dunedin I believe.
Dr Averis got the strength of a corrupt machine some time ago and never renewed his contract.
So we are left with the Toadies and there isnt any hope for any of us now in getting an honest unbiased opinion. The only Doctor who was unbiased has gone for 12 months!!
Sorry about that !!

well then there is only one choice and that is Dr Hellemans . yo never know tat he may be able to fit it in. I have no experance of a IOA so do not know the Assessors except what is put on here.

[jocko]

Hellemans got unavailable til the 10th of January beside his name. Sure you have not been fobbed off with an elaborate lie? Who said he was gone? Helleman himself or ACC?

[Juscallin1]

Joko, what was written on my posting is correct. Hellemans told a claimant himself. What more proof do you need?

His Brother-in-law was killed in the Tsunami and he went overseas to the funeral. Now he is doing his sabatical.

This was told to us by a claimant who was booked to undergo an assessment. We are all very troubled about this. He was the only honest Assessor around.

i would still puthis name down and let ACC deal with the problem. they call themselves efficiant then let them be just that

[mbe24]

Would like to add my support for Dr Hellemans , did mine and found him bloody good to deal with , very straight forward

[jocko]

Thanks folks we have been given Antoniadus like it or not.

Put a Code complaint in - not being offered choice of medical assessor - Right 2 - to be treated fairly and have views considered.
After ACC's complaints outfit whitewashes the matter - go to review.
Interestingly, the NZ Law Society is unhappy with the Code and is talking about changes, including decent remedies for breaches.

[fairgo]

Decent remedies for breaches... wouldn't THAT be nice!!! Good to see the Law Society is getting in on it now too.
BTW Helleman's is now in Dunedin working out of the Sports Institute @ Logan Park - Active Health Otago I believe.

[doppelganger]

so he is avaliable you will just have to travel to here

[fairgo]

Don't know if he is doing any assessments though for ACC. I heard that he wasn't.

[Juscallin1]

As I have put in the posting, Hellemans has taken a years sabatical. Dopel, HE IS NOT available for 12months.
