Workers compensation physiotherapy in the Sutherland Shire
PACT treats injured workers from right across the Sutherland Shire at our Miranda clinic, seven days a week, with telehealth across NSW when getting in is hard. Accepted claims are billed straight to the insurer, so there is nothing for you to pay.
Work injury care for the whole Sutherland Shire
The Shire is full of workplaces that put a load on the body, from the retail floors and offices around Westfield Miranda and the Kingsway, to the trades and warehousing out at Taren Point and Kirrawee, hospitality along Cronulla, and healthcare across the local hospitals. We treat injured workers from all of it, from our clinic in Miranda that sits central to the Shire.
Getting in is easy with early, evening and weekend appointments that fit around suitable duties and shift work. If you cannot make it that week, PACT Virtual Care carries your treatment and reporting on by telehealth across NSW.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Led by Andrew Ellis
PACT was founded by Andrew Ellis, our principal physiotherapist, an AHPRA registered and SIRA approved physiotherapist who is completing an Executive MBA. Every PACT physiotherapist works to the same approach he 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 Shire 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.
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.
