WorkCover GP in Carindale, claims handled properly.
A WorkCover GP in Carindale who manages your claim from the first certificate through to your return-to-work plan. We coordinate directly with your employer and insurer, so you're not left relaying information.
Who your WorkCover GP talks to on your behalf
A WorkCover claim involves several people: you, your employer, your employer’s return-to-work coordinator, the insurer’s case manager and your treating providers. When information doesn’t flow between them, claims can stall and you can end up stuck in the middle. A WorkCover GP who handles claims properly keeps everyone informed.
At Carindale Doctors, your GP provides clear certificates, responds to insurer requests, talks with your return-to-work coordinator about suitable duties and shares updates with your physio or specialist. You’ll always get a copy of your certificate, and we’ll explain what’s been communicated so you’re never in the dark.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ WorkCover GPs inside Westfield Carindale coordinate with your employer, return-to-work coordinator, insurer case manager and treating providers, so you’re not relaying information. Certificates are clear, and accepted claims carry no out-of-pocket cost.
