WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Newcastle
Specialist surgical care for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Newcastle or the Hunter Valley 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.
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.
