Occupational Medicine & WorkCover Consultations

Occupational Medicine & WorkCover Consultations

Occupational medicine is primarily concerned with the treatment and prevention of illness and disease in the workplace. Doctors specializing in occupational medicine aim to ensure that high standards of health and safety at work are maintained. Our GPs provide ongoing treatment, management, and prevention of workplace injuries and illnesses, as well as return to work planning, pre-employment medicals, and WorkCover consultations. Please speak with our friendly reception staff regarding fees and payment options.

At our clinic, our GPs provide comprehensive, ongoing support for both employers and employees. From the treatment of workplace injuries to pre-employment assessments and WorkCover consultations, our goal is to help individuals return to work safely and efficiently while maintaining long-term health. We work collaboratively with employers, insurers, and allied health providers to support injury recovery and workplace safety.

Do I need an appointment for a WorkCover consultation?

Yes, appointments are recommended so the GP can allocate enough time to assess your injury and complete necessary documentation.

What should I bring to a pre-employment medical?

Please bring identification, any relevant medical reports, glasses (if worn), and any forms provided by your employer.

Can you help with return-to-work plans?

Absolutely. Our GPs work closely with you, your employer, and WorkCover representatives to create a safe and structured return-to-work plan.

Do you treat both new and existing workplace injuries?

Yes. We can assess new injuries or provide ongoing management for injuries already being treated.

Are occupational health services covered by Medicare?

Some services may not be Medicare-funded. Pre-employment medicals, WorkCover assessments, and certain workplace-related tests may incur fees. Please ask our reception staff for details.
