WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Lismore
Specialist surgical care for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Lismore or the Northern Rivers 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.
Lismore is the civic and healthcare hub of the Northern Rivers, home to Lismore Base Hospital and Southern Cross University's Lismore campus. The 2022 flood and the rebuild that followed left a long tail of construction, restoration, and psychological-injury claims across the CBD and surrounding suburbs, layered over a steady agricultural and allied-health workforce.
