WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Birchgrove
Specialist surgical care for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Birchgrove or the Inner West area is not getting better with conservative treatment, our orthopaedic surgeons can help. We provide specialist consultations, surgical opinions and — where surgery is the right call — the procedure itself, with post-op rehab from our physios. Approved treatment is billed directly to the WorkCover insurer, so you are never out of pocket.
Birchgrove is a quiet harbour-edge suburb at the tip of the Balmain peninsula, with most working residents in professional services in the CBD, creative industries based in the Inner West and the marine and maintenance trades scattered around the ferry wharf. Workers compensation claims out of Birchgrove tend to mix desk-bound neck and wrist complaints with the boat-handling, falls and crush injuries common to marine work.
