WorkCover Orthopaedic Surgeon in Zetland
Specialist surgical care for your work injury — no gap fee for approved treatment.
If your work injury in Zetland or the Inner 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.
Built on the former Victoria Park racecourse, Zetland is an almost entirely new suburb stacked with mid-rise apartments around East Village shopping centre. Cafe staff, supermarket workers, and ongoing finishing trades on neighbouring towers make up most of the daily worker population, with slips and manual-handling injuries common.
