WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Illawong
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Illawong or the Sutherland Shire 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.
Illawong sits above the Georges River across from Alfords Point with residents largely in professional services commuting to the city, trades servicing the wider Sutherland renovation pipeline, and retail along the Menai shops. Workers compensation files at Illawong cover ergonomic RSI from desk-bound commuters, plasterer and tiler wrist overuse, supermarket stocking complaints, plus aged-care personal-handling lumbar incidents from a growing local care workforce.
