WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Forest Lodge
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Forest Lodge or the Inner Sydney 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.
Forest Lodge is a small terrace-house suburb between Glebe and Annandale, with most working residents in professional services, healthcare at RPA and the creative and university-adjacent industries based around Camperdown.
