Workplace Rehabilitation Provider in Wollongong
We help you choose a rehab provider who works for you.
Injured at work in Wollongong or the Illawarra area and unsure how to get back on your feet? We help you choose an independent, SIRA-approved rehab provider who works in your interest and coordinates your return to work, covered by WorkCover on an accepted claim. Rehab providers under workers compensation are paid for by your insurer, but the one you choose works for you and your recovery, not the people paying the bill.
Wollongong is the Illawarra's capital city, historically built on steel and coal. While heavy industry remains a major employer through the Port Kembla steelworks, the University of Wollongong and local hospitals have broadened the workforce. Industrial injuries here can be severe and complex.
