Workers Compensation Physio
Hurt at work on the Northern Beaches? Our physios and exercise physiologists treat your injury and sort the insurer side with you. You focus on getting better.
- No referral needed for physio
- We bill the insurer directly
- We keep your GP and employer in the loop
Usually covered once your claim is accepted
- Your first assessment
- Follow-up physio treatment
- Exercise-based rehab and exercise physiology
- Longer sessions for complex or multi-area injuries
- Telehealth where it suits your injury
- Return to work planning with your GP, employer and insurer
Cover depends on your claim being accepted and the insurer approving treatment. We'll tell you where you stand at your first visit.
You shouldn't have to chase paperwork while you're sore
Work injuries come with forms, phone calls and certificates. That's a lot when you're in pain and trying to keep working.
We deal with the insurer side. Treatment requests, updates to your GP and employer, and a clear plan for getting back to work. You turn up and do the rehab.

Hurt at work and not sure what happens next?
- Your back or neck flares up at work and rest isn't fixing it
- A shoulder, elbow or wrist that gets worse the more you use it
- You're not sure your claim covers physio
- You've got a certificate from your GP and no idea what's next
- You want to get back to work without making it worse
- An old work injury that never quite settled
Three steps from injury to back at work
Start your claim
Tell your employer, see your GP for a certificate, and lodge your claim. Bring your claim number to your first visit.
We assess and start treatment
You don't need a referral for physio. We work out what's going on, explain it plainly and get started. We send the request to the insurer when it's needed.
We keep everyone on the same page
We update your GP, employer and insurer so your treatment and your work plan line up. You keep getting stronger.
Work injuries come in all shapes
These are the ones we see most.
Back and Neck Injuries
From lifting, twisting, and long days at a desk or on your feet.
Shoulder and Arm Injuries
Overhead work, heavy tools and repetitive tasks.
Knee, Ankle and Foot Injuries
Slips, trips, awkward landings and long shifts on hard floors.
Repetitive Strain
Aches that build over weeks or months, not from one bad moment.
Post-Surgery Rehab
Getting strong again after surgery for a work injury.
Return to Work Planning
A plan for getting back to your duties, built with your GP and employer.
More than a work injury clinic
Workers comp is one part of what we do. When you're back to full duties, we can help you stay that way.
Rated 5.0 by our patients
“Phenomenal physio team. Friendly, extremely informative and supportive. 5/5 experience with my injured ankle.”

“I couldn't be happier with the service. Ruby and Michael were exceptional, getting me back up cycling and running after a chronic patella issue. The curve ball of the injured hammie midway through recovery was handled without issue. Thanks guys.”
