WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Blakehurst
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Blakehurst or the St George area is not getting better with conservative treatment, we can help you get an opinion from an orthopaedic surgeon who takes WorkCover cases. Where surgery is the right call, the surgeon operates and we line up physio for the post-op rehab. Approved treatment is billed directly to the WorkCover insurer, so you are never out of pocket.
Blakehurst sits along the Georges River south of Hurstville with residents working in retail along King Georges Road, healthcare at St George Hospital, and the trades servicing the local renovation pipeline. Workers compensation claims around Blakehurst lean toward nursing patient-handling strain, retail slips and lifting injuries, and the carpenter and tile-setter wear-and-tear claims from the constant renovation activity on the area's older brick housing stock.
