WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Frenchs Forest
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Frenchs Forest or the Northern Beaches 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.
The Northern Beaches Hospital replaced both Manly and Mona Vale acute services in 2018 and is now the single biggest employer in Frenchs Forest. The Forest Way retail cluster and the ongoing Beaches Link road project layer retail, logistics, and major civil works on top of an already dense clinical workforce.
