PHYSIO FOR WORK COVER
What is Work Cover?
Workers’ compensation is a system designed to support employees who have been injured at work. If you’ve sustained a workplace injury, you may be eligible for physiotherapy treatment covered under a workers’ compensation claim. This allows you to receive the necessary care without out-of-pocket expenses, helping you recover and return to work safely.
Physiotherapy under workers’ compensation focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function following a work-related injury. Your treatment plan may include hands-on therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and workplace-specific advice to help you regain confidence in your movements.
To access physiotherapy through workers’ compensation, you’ll typically need a referral from your doctor and approval from your insurer. From there, we work closely with you and your case manager to ensure a smooth recovery process. If you’re unsure about your eligibility or how to get started, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to guide you through the process.
