Specialist surgical care for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Upper Macdonald or the Hills District 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.
Upper Macdonald is remote sandstone-and-bushland country along the Macdonald Valley, with the working population concentrated in beef cattle, small-scale horticulture, and the road and fence-building trades. Workers compensation matters here typically involve quad-bike rollovers, chainsaw injuries, and livestock handling strains. Communication blackspots and the long drive to Windsor mean injured workers often arrive at clinic days after the initial incident.
