 Is it work or life? 

Work accidents occur every day in the Australian workforce and orthopaedic injuries can range from: 

– Falls, slips and trips
– Overexertion through lifting, pushing and pulling
– Repetitive motion injuries (e.g. typing)
– Machine crushing and entanglement
– Falling objects or debris

 Workers’ compensation is a system to ensure injured workers are fairly compensated for injuries sustained at work and this compensation can take the form of medical and rehabilitation costs, surgery, ambulance, medical costs as well as physiotherapists, orthopaedic and ergonomic aids and other services to help you return to work.

Many orthopaedic workplace injuries may have some element of a “pre-existing” condition but frequently these conditions are dramatically exacerbated by an event at work.

That is why it’s so important to immediately report an injury at work to your employer and to seek early treatment for better outcomes. 

Call Orthoclinic if you need a workers compensation doctor in Strathfield or need  more details on how we can help you in your worker injury medical claim.  

24-hour reporting  

Where the injury occurred in the last 24 hours and is an emergency approval is not required and Orthoclinic may be able to bill the employer directly. 

For all other cases, you will FIRST require written approval from your insurance company or employer otherwise you will be charged at the time of consultation. 

It’s also important to bring a referral from your GP, hospital emergency doctor or other medical doctors along with your claim number when you come to your consultation. 

If it is an existing claim, please notify your case manager as they will need to be advised about treatments for funding approval.
