WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Westmead
We help you get a surgical opinion for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Westmead or the Western 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.
Westmead is one of Australia's largest hospital and research precincts, with Westmead Hospital, The Children's Hospital, and the Westmead Institute for Medical Research clustered in a single campus. Thousands of clinical and allied-health staff work alongside the construction crews building the Westmead Metro station and the surrounding health precinct expansion.
