WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Botany
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Botany or the Eastern Suburbs 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.
Botany sits between the freight terminals of Port Botany and the airport, and most local workers earn a living in logistics, container handling, or warehouse work. WorkCover claims around Botany skew heavily toward back and shoulder injuries from heavy lifting, alongside the inevitable forklift incidents. The suburb's older worker cottages also feed a steady stream of renovation jobs for local sparkies and chippies.
