Work Cover
Work place injuries are an all too often an occurrence especially in certain industries.
​
Worker's Compensation
​
If you have been injured at work, you may be eligible for assistance to recover with Worker’s Compensation. The usual insurer for Worker’s Compensation in Queensland is WorkCover.
​
In order to claim, you must first have a current workers’ compensation certificate signed by your GP/medical practitioner or nurse practitioner to cover chiropractic services.
​
Your insurer will then pay for up to 5 visits including your initial consultation. If further chiropractic care is required for your work-related injury, it must first be approved by your insurer.
​
It’s important to understand that a work injury can uncover other pre-existing damage and that workers’ compensation is not intended to rectify that, only your new injury.
​
To summarise:
​
-
Get a certificate from your GP - they can lodge with WorkCover on your behalf
-
Come to us and get up to 5 sessions
-
Maybe you can get approval from insurer
​
Finally, if you want to strengthen your spine to keep from getting injured, that is your responsibility and of course we can help 🙂
