Workers comp physio near you, across the Shire and Sydney

Injured workers often travel further than most people for the right physiotherapist, because on a claim the quality of your treatment and your reports shapes the whole recovery. Our clinic in Miranda treats workers from right across the Sutherland Shire and greater Sydney, with early, evening and weekend appointments that fit around suitable duties and shift work.

If getting to the clinic is not practical, PACT Virtual Care delivers the same assessment, rehabilitation and insurer reporting by telehealth anywhere in NSW. Telehealth physiotherapy is funded on accepted NSW workers compensation claims when it is clinically appropriate, and many workers combine telehealth reviews with periodic visits to the clinic.

  • In clinic at Miranda, central to the Sutherland Shire, 7 days
  • Telehealth across all of NSW through PACT Virtual Care
  • Appointments to 9pm on weekdays
  • Same fees, same reporting, same physio either way
Work injury is different

A physio who knows the claim side as well as the injury

Treating a work injury well means more than good hands on care. Your physiotherapist writes the recovery reports your case manager relies on, recommends capacity that feeds your Certificate of Capacity, works alongside your rehabilitation provider, and helps shape the plan that gets you back to work safely. Done poorly, that paperwork is exactly what makes a claim stall.

Andrew Ellis founded PACT after a decade inside the occupational rehabilitation system, working as a Senior Rehabilitation Consultant for national providers and as a Senior Workplace Health and Safety and Injury Management Advisor inside large Australian organisations. He has managed injured worker caseloads, written return to work plans, and advised the employers and insurers on the other side of the process. That experience is built into how every PACT report is written and every recovery is planned.

Your rights

The choice of physio is yours

On a NSW workers compensation claim you have the right to choose your own SIRA approved physiotherapist. Your employer or insurer can suggest a clinic, but the decision is yours, and you can change physios during your claim. If you move to PACT partway through, we take over with one pre approved session and handle the approval paperwork from there.

You do not need a GP referral to start physiotherapy on a claim. Where your injury has not been treated by a physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath or accredited exercise physiologist before, 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. The number can differ in other situations, for example up to three if treatment starts more than three months after the injury, so we always confirm your exact arrangement with your insurer or case manager first.

Insurers

Billed directly, no gap for you

We treat workers insured through the icare scheme agents, including EML, Allianz, Gallagher Bassett, QBE and DXC, as well as self insured employers and interstate schemes where NSW treatment is approved. We manage WorkCover Queensland claims too, and NSW CTP motor accident injuries are billed the same way.

Every invoice goes straight to the insurer under SIRA rates. You never handle a bill, chase a rebate or pay a gap on an accepted claim, from your first assessment to your final discharge report.

Who you will see

Led by Andrew Ellis, and a team held to his standard

PACT was founded by Andrew Ellis, our principal physiotherapist, an AHPRA registered and SIRA approved physiotherapist. Every PACT physiotherapist works to the same approach Andrew built and treats alongside him, so the quality of your care and your reporting does not change with who you see.

That consistency is what case managers and rehabilitation providers rely on. Clear reports, capacity advice that stands up, and a plan that keeps your recovery and your return to work moving in the same direction.

Cost

No out of pocket 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. The clinic in Miranda treats injured workers from right across the Sutherland Shire and greater Sydney, and PACT Virtual Care covers the rest of NSW by telehealth. On an accepted claim both are billed direct to the insurer with nothing for you to pay.
Can I choose my own physio for my workers comp claim?
Yes. In NSW you have the right to choose your own SIRA approved physiotherapist. Your employer or insurer can suggest a clinic, but the choice is yours, and you can change physios during your claim. If you move to PACT partway through, we take over with one pre approved session and handle the approval paperwork from there.
How many physio sessions do I get before approval?
Where your injury has not been treated by a physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath or accredited exercise physiologist before, 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. The number can differ in other situations, for example up to three if treatment starts more than three months after the injury. After that we simply send your insurer an Allied Health Treatment Request and continue once it is approved. We always confirm the exact arrangement with your insurer or case manager.
Do I need a GP referral to see a physio on workers comp?
No. Under SIRA rules you can start physiotherapy on an accepted claim without a GP referral. You will need a claim number, and your Certificate of Capacity comes from your nominated treating doctor for the claim itself, but treatment does not wait for a referral.
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 faster. The clinic runs seven days with appointments to 9pm on weekdays, and telehealth adds even more flexibility. Early treatment is strongly linked to better recovery on work injuries, so we prioritise new claims.
