WorkCover and workers compensation

East Hills Medical Centre treats work-related injuries and manages workers compensation claims under the NSW scheme from its practice at 17 Maclaurin Avenue, East Hills. After a workplace injury your GP assesses you, provides treatment or referral, and issues the SIRA Certificate of Capacity your employer and insurer need. Dr Sajid Siddiqi has a particular interest in injury management, rehabilitation and return-to-work planning, including temporary and permanent impairment assessment, drawing on seven years managing military injuries with the Australian Defence Force. Ongoing care covers physiotherapy in the same building, imaging and specialist referral, and liaison with your employer's return-to-work coordinator and the insurer's case manager. Consultations for an accepted claim are billed to the insurer at scheme rates; you pay nothing while the claim is accepted. Bring your claim number, employer details and any incident report to your first visit, and book a long consultation so the certificate can be completed properly.
