WorkCover GP in Newcastle
We book you in with a WorkCover GP and help with your claim from the first appointment.
Need a WorkCover GP in Newcastle? Call us and we'll book you in with a GP who knows work injuries and the scheme. The GP writes your Certificate of Capacity and plans your treatment, and we help with your claim paperwork — no cost to you on accepted claims, billed to WorkCover. A WorkCover GP is the same as a workers compensation GP — your nominated treating doctor under the NSW scheme, responsible for your medical certificates and treatment plan.
Newcastle is Australia's second-oldest city and the Hunter Valley's economic engine. The working port, coal export terminals, and manufacturing plants employ thousands in physically demanding roles, while the John Hunter Hospital complex is the region's largest healthcare employer.
