Understanding Your Options: Complaints, Regulation & Compensation

Not all pathways lead to financial compensation. Here’s how they differ in WA—and how we help you choose the right one.

HaDSCO (WA)

  • What It Does:
    Handles complaints and conciliation about health services. Can result in apologies, refunds, policy changes, or system improvements.
  • What It Doesn’t Do:
    Cannot award court damages or financial compensation for your injury, pain, suffering, or lost income.
  • Best For:
    • Getting an apology or explanation
    • Fixing a billing dispute
    • Improving hospital processes

AHPRA & Medical Board

  • What They Do:
    Regulate and investigate doctors, nurses, dentists, and other health practitioners. Can issue warnings, conditions, suspensions, or deregistration.
  • What They Don’t Do:
    Regulatory action is separate from compensation. AHPRA decisions don’t result in payments to injured patients.
  • Best For:
    • Reporting unsafe practitioners
    • Professional conduct concerns
    • Protecting future patients

Compensation Claims (Civil Law)

  • What It Is:
    A civil claim for damages based on medical negligence. Requires proof of breach, causation, and loss, supported by independent expert evidence.
  • What You Can Receive:
    Financial compensation for pain and suffering, medical treatment, income loss, care needs, and future expenses.
  • Best For:
    • Serious injury or ongoing harm
    • Economic loss (wages, treatment costs)
    • Long-term care or rehabilitation needs

This is what Foyle Legal manages for you—on a No Win No Fee basis.

Want compensation, not just an apology or investigation?

You need a civil compensation claim. Foyle Legal handles all aspects—evidence gathering, independent expert briefs, negotiations, and litigation if needed.

We can also guide you on whether a HaDSCO complaint or AHPRA notification is useful alongside your compensation claim.

Medical Negligence Lawyers Perth – Compensation for Medical Negligence

Do I have a Medical Negligence Claim?

In Western Australia, a person with a medical negligence claim will only be successful if they can show that they suffered an injury due to the negligence of another person, usually a doctor, nurse, medic or someone in a similar role involving surgery, medical treatment or clinical care.

The injured person will usually have to show that the person providing the medical care owed them a duty of care as a patient, which will usually not present a problem. The harder part of a medical negligence claim is showing that firstly, the medical care provider was negligent in undertaking the medical care or medical procedure, and secondly any damage to the injured person was caused by the medical negligence, rather than any other condition, including the condition for which the injured person first sought medical treatment.

Most medical professionals and practices are fully covered by insurance. In the event of a medical negligence claim, their insurer or insurer’s lawyer will be informed and ready to protect their client (i.e, doctors, nurses, dentists, medical specialists, medics, hospitals, surgeries, clinics, and treatment centres). If you are in Perth, the best way to determine if you have a medical negligence claim that is worth pursuing is to organise an obligation-free consultation with a good medical negligence lawyer in Perth.

What can I expect to receive in a medical negligence claim?

In a medical negligence claim, any award your receive from a Judge will attempt to put you back, as far as money can do so, in the same position that you were in prior to the negligent conduct. In most medical negligence cases, this will be the position that you would be in if the surgery or other medical procedure was properly performed.

In an award, injured people can expect to receive money for their pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, economic loss, medical treatment, gratuitous services, paid services and any medical aids they will need going forward.

What is the time limit to make a medical negligence claim?

If you are aged over 18 at the of the the accrual date, the status of limitation for medical negligence claim in 3 years in WA. This means you will often have 3 years from the accrual date to make a claim but Medical Negligence claims can be complicated and advice specific to your situation should be sought from a speicalist medical negligence lawyer in Perth, or your regional areas.

Once a suspected medical malpractice has occurred, most people’s first point of call is to make a complaint regarding a claim to Health and Disability Services Complaints Office (HaDSCO) or Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to have the incident investigated. Please be mindful that both HaDSCO and AHPRA may also have time limits for registering a complaint.

What are the typical medical negligence malpractice claims?

Foyle Legal acted on a range of medical malpractice or medical negligence-related compensation claims in Perth. This includes the following types of compensation claims:

  • making a condition that you already have worse
  • not diagnosing a condition correctly (misdiagnosis) or not diagnosing a condition at all
  • failure to provide the person with a medical condition with an appropriate referral
  • failure to provide the person with a medical condition with appropriate treatment
  • failure to diagnose a medical condition in a timely manner
  • failure to undertake surgical treatment or provide care after an operation with reasonable care and skill
  • failure to interpret or report results such as the results of blood tests, MRI scans or other scans.

Please be aware that medical negligence claims can be costly, risky and time-consuming. If you are considering bringing a negligence claim against a medical professional or provider in Perth or in Western Australia. It is best to consult the opinion of an experienced medical negligence lawyer in Perth first.

What’s the legal test of medical negligence in WA?

Care below peer-accepted professional practice that caused your harm, proven with independent expert evidence.

Do I need my records first?

Medical notes and records will help us to make an assessment as to whether there is medical negligence in your case, for this reason it is a good idea to have them available. Whilst this is the case, with your consent we can obtain notes, imaging and other medical records.

Should I complain to HaDSCO or AHPRA first?

This is optional. It should be remembered that insurers may use your complaint to bodies like HaDSCO or AHPRA against you saying that your complaint to them is inconsistent with your civil damages claim. It is best to seek legal advice first in our view.

Is “medical malpractice” the same as “medical negligence” in WA?

We use “medical negligence” in WA law. “Medical malpractice” is a common term with similar plain-English meaning.

What’s hospital negligence?

Errors in inpatient care: pressure injuries, falls, discharge failures, post-op infection where protocols weren’t followed.

Can I claim for misdiagnosis or delay?

Often yes, if delay caused a worse outcome. We check test follow-up, referrals and documented red flags.
