Work Cover Physiotherapy Treatment Guide
Your Guide to Work Cover Physiotherapy Treatment
Work Cover supports injured workers and promotes workplace health and safety across NSW. Injuries at work can occur suddenly, such as a slip or fall, or slowly over time with repetitive strain on an area of the body. If you are injured at work, make a claim through your employer, and the Workers Compensation Board. Once you have been issued with a claim number, we can start your Physiotherapy assessment and treatment in our Parramatta clinic. There are no out of pocket costs associated with your treatment as long as your claim has been approved. Don’t worry about the nitty gritty, we will take care of all the approvals. Our main concern is getting you back at your pre injury levels and back to work.
Workplace injuries are a common problem. We offer programs that provide workplace injury rehabilitation, work site assessments, and prevention ergonomic assessments and advice.
