Coordinating your WorkCover treatment team
Recovering from a work injury often involves more than your GP. You may need physiotherapy, exercise physiology, imaging, a specialist opinion or psychological support. Under WorkCover, many of these services need insurer approval, and your WorkCover doctor plays a central role in recommending and coordinating them.
At Carindale Doctors, your GP writes referrals with the detail insurers need, follows up on reports from physios and specialists, and keeps your treatment plan joined up. That way, your recovery stays on track and you’re not left chasing approvals or relaying messages between providers.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ WorkCover doctors inside Westfield Carindale coordinate your treatment team, including physiotherapy, imaging, specialists and psychology, with referrals written for insurer approval. We provide certificates, reviews and return-to-work plans, and accepted claims carry no out-of-pocket cost.

From first certificate to final review

Why some treatments need insurer approval
Under WorkCover, insurers approve many treatments in advance. Common examples include:
- Physiotherapy: often an initial block, with more sessions on request.
- Imaging: such as MRI scans.
- Specialist consultations: for complex injuries.
- Surgery: which always needs approval.
We’ll help make sure referrals include the information insurers need.
