If you're undergoing a periodic Coal Mine Workers Health Assessment or a subsequent review, KINNECT may request your previous assessment records before your appointment. This article explains the process for submitting these records, which is essential for compliance with legislative requirements set by Resources Safety and Health Queensland (the Queensland Government).
Why Submit Previous Records?
Submitting your previous Coal Mine Workers Health Assessment records allows KINNECT to compare your latest health data with your prior assessments, ensuring comprehensive health monitoring and compliance with Queensland's regulations.
The Process
1. Obtain Your Records: To start, you need to acquire a copy of your previous Coal Mine Workers Health Assessment records. This should include any chest x-ray or B-reader reports. You can obtain these records by contacting the medical provider who conducted your last assessment.
2. Request the Records: Contact your medical provider and ask them to provide you with a copy of your Coal Mine Workers Health Assessment records. Ensure they include any chest x-ray or B-reader reports they have for you.
3. Submission via Email: Once you have gathered these records, the next step is to submit them to KINNECT. You can do this by sending them via email to KINNECT's Results Department at resultsupdate@kinnect.com.au.

If you're unable to obtain a copy of your previous Coal Mine Workers Health Assessment records from your medical provider, KINNECT can assist. Just let us know and we will submit a request to the Queensland Government to obtain a copy on your behalf. Keep in mind that this process may take longer, usually around 5 to 10 business days, compared to sending a copy yourself.
