If your work injury in Waterfall or the Sutherland Shire area is not getting better with conservative treatment, our orthopaedic surgeons can help.

Approved treatment is billed directly to the WorkCover insurer, so you are never out of pocket.
Waterfall sits at the southern edge of the Royal National Park on the rail line, with locals working park ranger roles, rail maintenance, trades servicing the Heathcote-Engadine corridor and the local Garrawarra hospital.
