WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Kensington
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Kensington 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.
Kensington is shaped by UNSW and the racecourse, with the workforce dominated by university academic and support staff, healthcare workers heading to Prince of Wales, and the hospitality and retail crews along Anzac Parade. Workers compensation issues out of Kensington often involve teaching-related voice and shoulder strain, lab and office repetitive-strain injuries, and the lifting, slip and burn claims that come with student-precinct cafes and aged-care work.
