WorkCover GP in Wollongong

Need a WorkCover GP in Wollongong? 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.
