A workplace injury can be physically painful, stressful, and disruptive to every area of your life. Knowing where to start with your WorkCover claim and your recovery can feel overwhelming. At Brisbane Physio Clinic Newmarket, we make the process straightforward. Our experienced physiotherapists manage WorkCover Queensland claims from your initial assessment right through to your return to work, handling all the paperwork and communication with your insurer along the way. Our Newmarket WorkCover physiotherapy team Fred Hsu, Gary Hsu, and Joseph treat patients from across Newmarket, Wilston, Alderley, Grange, Ashgrove, and Kelvin Grove who have been injured at work and need structured, evidence based rehabilitation to recover safely.
WorkCover Queensland is the state government scheme that provides financial support and medical treatment for Queensland workers who are injured at work or develop a work related illness. Physiotherapy is one of the most commonly claimed treatments under WorkCover, covering a broad range of work related injuries from musculoskeletal strains to post surgical rehabilitation. If your WorkCover claim is approved, you are entitled to physiotherapy treatment at no out of pocket cost. Your employer’s insurer pays for your treatment directly, meaning you receive the care you need without financial stress during your recovery.
Back strains, shoulder injuries, and knee injuries from lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling are among the most common work related injuries in Queensland. Our physios assess the injury thoroughly and develop a rehabilitation plan that addresses both your recovery and your safe return to the physical demands of your role.
Injuries caused by repetitive movements or sustained postures over time. Conditions such as tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and neck pain from prolonged computer use are all common repetitive strain injuries that respond well to physiotherapy.
Falls in the workplace can result in fractures, joint injuries, head injuries, and soft tissue damage. Our Newmarket physios manage the rehabilitation of fall related injuries with a focus on restoring full function and confidence.
If your work injury has required surgery, structured post surgical rehabilitation is essential to a full recovery. Our Newmarket WorkCover physiotherapy team works closely with your surgeon to deliver a rehabilitation program aligned with your surgical outcome and your return to work goals.
Exercise physiology and physiotherapy can play a supportive role in the management of psychological work injuries, particularly where physical deconditioning, pain, and reduced activity are contributing factors.
Report your injury to your employer as soon as possible and lodge a WorkCover claim through WorkCover Queensland. You will receive a claim number once your claim is lodged.
