WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Tempe
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Tempe or the Inner West 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.
Tempe's big-box retail strip along the Princes Highway — IKEA, Ford dealerships, bulky-goods showrooms — is a significant Sydney-wide retail and warehousing employer. The proximity to Sydney Airport and the Cooks River industrial edge layers on freight, cleaning, and maintenance crews, with forklift and manual-handling incidents a recurring claim type.
