Workers Compensation
(Work Cover)

If you have been injured at work or developed a health condition related to your job, physiotherapy/chiropractic care/remedial massage can play an important role in reducing pain, restoring movement and helping you return to work safely.

At Hills Physio Care in Castle Hill and Chatswood Physio Care & Allied Health in Chatswood, our physiotherapists/chiropracters/massage therapists provide treatment and rehabilitation for patients with Workers Compensation and WorkCover claims in NSW.

We work with injured workers, GPs, employers, insurers and other healthcare professionals to support your recovery and help you achieve a safe and sustainable return to work.

What is Workers Compensation?

Workers Compensation is a form of insurance designed to support employees who are injured at work or become unwell as a result of their employment.

Depending on your claim and circumstances, Workers Compensation may provide support for:

Medical and healthcare expenses
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
Loss of wages while you are unable to work
Assistance with recovery and return to work

In NSW, the Workers Compensation system is regulated by SIRA (State Insurance Regulatory Authority).
