WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Croydon
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Croydon or the Inner West 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.
Croydon workers are concentrated along the Parramatta Road retail and trade strip, with professional services commuters making up another sizeable chunk via the Croydon train station. Workers compensation claims here often involve panel-beater hand injuries, retail staff lifting strains, and the trade injuries from the steady inner-west renovation work. A pocket of Italian-Australian small business families also runs trades passed down through generations.
