Workplace injuries our doctors treat
Workplace injuries come in many forms. Some are sudden, like a fall, cut, burn or something landing in your eye. Others build up over time, such as back pain from lifting, repetitive strain in the wrists or shoulders, or hearing loss from noise. Psychological injuries related to work are also recognised under workers’ compensation.
At Carindale Doctors, our workplace injury doctors assess and treat a wide range of injuries on the spot, from cleaning and dressing wounds to managing sprains and arranging X-rays. We document your injury carefully on your WorkCover certificate, which helps your claim, and plan treatment that gets you back to work safely.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ workplace injury doctors inside Westfield Carindale treat sprains, back injuries, cuts, burns, eye injuries, repetitive strain and work-related psychological injuries, and issue WorkCover certificates. We coordinate with your employer and insurer, and accepted claims carry no out-of-pocket cost.
