WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Palona
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Palona 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.
Palona is a remote Royal National Park bush pocket near Audley, with the small working population in National Parks and Wildlife operations, bushcare, hospitality at Audley and the trades servicing the surrounding off-grid properties. Workers compensation claims out of Palona typically involve chainsaw lacerations, back and shoulder strain from track-maintenance work, and the falls and crush claims common across bushcare and rural maintenance on steep, heavily timbered terrain.
