WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Nowra
Specialist surgical care for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Nowra or the South Coast 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.
Nowra is the civic centre of the Shoalhaven, with Shoalhaven Hospital, HMAS Albatross naval air base, and a large dairy and cattle industry running across the surrounding countryside. Defence personnel, civilian contractors, and healthcare workers form the bulk of the local workforce, and musculoskeletal and psychological-injury claims both feature heavily through the regional claim base.
