Workers comp physio near you, wherever you are in NSW

When you search for a workers comp physio near you, what you are really looking for is one who knows the scheme inside out, because your treatment and your reports shape how the whole claim runs. That is exactly what PACT is built for. Injured workers come to the Miranda clinic from every corner of greater Sydney, with early, evening and weekend appointments arranged around suitable duties and shift work.

If travel is not realistic, whether you are in the Illawarra, western Sydney, the Central Coast, regional NSW or working away from home, PACT Virtual Care runs the same assessment, rehabilitation and insurer reporting by telehealth. Telehealth physiotherapy is funded on accepted NSW workers compensation claims when it is clinically appropriate, and many workers pair telehealth reviews with the occasional visit in person.

  • In clinic at Miranda, open 7 days to workers from across Sydney
  • Telehealth anywhere in NSW through PACT Virtual Care
  • Appointments to 9pm on weekdays
  • Same fees, same reporting, same physio either way

Work injury is different

Physiotherapy that understands the whole claim

A work injury is never only an injury. It sits inside a claim, and the physiotherapist you pick ends up writing the recovery reports your case manager reads, recommending the capacity that feeds your Certificate of Capacity, working in with your rehabilitation provider, and helping build the plan that gets you back to work safely. PACT treats every one of those as part of the job, so your treatment and the paperwork that carries it move together and your claim keeps its momentum.

Andrew Ellis spent a decade inside the occupational rehabilitation system before he opened PACT. He worked as a Senior Rehabilitation Consultant for national providers and as a Senior Workplace Health and Safety and Injury Management Advisor inside large Australian organisations, carrying injured worker caseloads, writing return to work plans and advising the employers and insurers sitting on the other side of the file. He has read physio reports from that side of the desk and knows exactly what makes one genuinely useful. Every PACT report is written to that standard, whether you are seen in Miranda or join us by telehealth from the other end of the state.

Your rights

You pick the physio, not your employer

On a NSW workers compensation claim the physiotherapist is your call. Not your employer's, not the insurer's. Either can put a clinic in front of you, but you are free to book somewhere else, and free to change your mind partway through a claim. Nothing ties you to whoever is closest to the worksite, and distance is not a barrier either, because PACT Virtual Care can carry your treatment by telehealth. If you move to us mid claim, we take over with one pre approved session and pick up the approval paperwork from there.

No GP referral is needed to get started. Where a physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath or accredited exercise physiologist has not already treated your injury, and treatment begins within three months of the injury, SIRA allows up to eight consultations on an accepted claim before any further approval is needed. Other situations run differently, for example up to three if treatment starts more than three months after the injury, so we check your exact arrangement with your insurer or case manager before your first appointment.

Insurers

Whoever holds your claim, the bill goes to them

It does not matter which insurer your employer is with. We bill the icare scheme agents direct, including EML, Allianz, Gallagher Bassett, QBE and DXC, along with self insured employers and interstate schemes where NSW treatment is approved. WorkCover Queensland claims are managed here too, and NSW CTP motor accident injuries are billed the same way.

Everything is invoiced to the insurer at SIRA rates. There is no bill at reception, no rebate to chase and no gap on an accepted claim, from your first assessment through to your discharge report. If you would rather not run a claim at all, a private initial appointment is $165 for 60 minutes and a follow up is $142 for 40 minutes.

  • Every icare scheme agent: EML, Allianz, Gallagher Bassett, QBE and DXC
  • Self insured employers and interstate schemes where NSW treatment is approved
  • WorkCover Queensland and NSW CTP claims handled the same way
  • No invoice, no rebate, no gap on an accepted claim
Who you will see

Andrew Ellis leads your care

PACT was founded by Andrew Ellis, our principal physiotherapist, AHPRA registered and SIRA approved. Your appointments are with Andrew, or with a physiotherapist he has brought into the same approach, so your care and your reporting hold to one standard either way.

That consistency is what case managers and rehabilitation providers across Sydney and NSW count on. Clear reports, capacity advice that stands up to scrutiny, and a plan that keeps your recovery and your return to work pointed in the same direction.

Cost

On an accepted workers compensation or CTP claim, your treatment is billed directly to the insurer. There is no gap and nothing for you to pay at your appointment, and we handle the invoicing for you. If you are a private patient, see our fees.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Do you only treat workers near Miranda?
No. Miranda is where the clinic is, but we treat injured workers who travel in from right across greater Sydney, and PACT Virtual Care covers the rest of NSW by telehealth. Where you live does not decide whether we can help. On an accepted claim, either way is billed direct to the insurer with nothing for you to pay.
Can I choose my own physio for my workers comp claim?
Yes. The choice belongs to you, not your employer and not the insurer. Either can recommend a clinic, but you are free to book elsewhere, and free to change physios while your claim is running. Nothing ties you to the nearest name on the map, and if you are too far to travel, PACT Virtual Care can treat you by telehealth. Moving to us partway through takes one pre approved session, and we handle the approval paperwork.
How many physio sessions do I get before approval?
On an accepted claim SIRA allows up to eight consultations before further approval is needed, as long as no physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath or accredited exercise physiologist has treated the injury already and treatment begins within three months of the injury. The allowance is smaller in other situations, for example up to three consultations if treatment starts more than three months after the injury. After that an Allied Health Treatment Request goes to your insurer and treatment continues once it is approved. We confirm the exact arrangement with your insurer or case manager, whichever scheme agent holds the claim.
Do I need a GP referral to see a physio on workers comp?
No referral required. SIRA rules allow physiotherapy to start on an accepted claim as soon as you have a claim number. Your nominated treating doctor still issues the Certificate of Capacity for the claim itself, but that runs separately, and waiting on a referral only delays treatment.
Is telehealth physiotherapy funded on workers comp in NSW?
Yes. Telehealth physiotherapy is funded on accepted NSW workers compensation claims when it is clinically appropriate for your injury. We assess what suits your situation and combine telehealth with visits to the clinic where that helps.
How fast can I be seen?
Usually within a few days, often sooner. Between seven day opening, weekday appointments to 9pm and telehealth right across NSW, there is almost always something that fits. Early treatment is strongly linked to better recovery on work injuries, so new claims get priority.
