WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Shipley
Specialist surgical care for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Shipley or the Western Sydney 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.
Shipley is a small upper Blue Mountains plateau pocket west of Blackheath, with the small working population in agriculture, viticulture, hospitality and the construction trades servicing the surrounding bushland properties. WorkCover claims here often involve vineyard ladder falls and pruning shoulder strain, chainsaw lacerations from land clearing, cafe burns and slip injuries, plus the back damage carpenters develop renovating steep, fire-prone plateau blocks.
