At a glance

A Workers Compensation chiropractor supports function, recovery and safe participation at work.

Care starts by understanding the injury, current symptoms, functional limits and work demands. A clinically appropriate plan may combine hands-on treatment, exercise and graded rehabilitation, with progress measured against practical recovery and work-related goals.

Before treatment

Confirm the claim and funding pathway before the first appointment.

NSW chiropractors do not require a GP referral to commence Workers Compensation treatment. Before the first appointment, however, the clinic should confirm that the claim has been accepted, the worker is eligible for payment of medical and related expenses, and the insurer agrees the treatment is reasonably necessary.

Claim acceptance, treatment approval and payment decisions are made by the insurer. Please call reception if you are unsure what has been approved.
