Approved treatment is billed directly to the WorkCover insurer, so you are never out of pocket.
Burwood is a compact Inner West suburb with a busy commercial strip, Westfield shopping centre, and a large student population. Retail and hospitality jobs dominate, and the precinct's density means foot-traffic injuries and overuse conditions are common among workers.
