WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Sydenham
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Sydenham 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.
Sydenham is a small wedge of warehouses, brewers, and light industry between the railway and the airport flightpath, with most local workers in logistics, brewing and food production, and the Marrickville creative-industries scene. WorkCover claims around Sydenham skew toward back and shoulder injuries from warehouse picking, brewery floor slips, and the burns typical of small-scale food manufacturing. The metro construction has added rail-tradie claims.
