WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Sylvania
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Sylvania 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.
Sylvania sits across the Captain Cook Bridge from Sans Souci, with locals working in retail along the Princes Highway, hospitality, marine trades and the construction crews servicing the surrounding waterfront homes. WorkCover claims here lean toward retail shelf-stocker shoulder damage, kitchen burns and wait-staff slips, propeller and rigging lacerations in the river boatyards, plus tile-setter and plasterer knee injuries from constant work on the Georges River housing stock.
