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
Good hands on treatment is only half of a work injury. The rest is the claim. Your physiotherapist writes the recovery reports your case manager relies on, recommends the capacity that feeds your Certificate of Capacity, works alongside your rehabilitation provider, and helps shape the plan that gets you back on the tools or back at the desk safely. When that side is handled poorly, the paperwork is what holds your recovery up.
Andrew Ellis built PACT on the back of a decade inside the occupational rehabilitation system. Before the clinic he was a Senior Rehabilitation Consultant with national providers and a Senior Workplace Health and Safety and Injury Management Advisor inside large Australian organisations, managing injured worker caseloads, writing return to work plans and advising employers and insurers on how a claim should run. Shire employers, case managers and rehabilitation providers get the benefit of that every time we report on one of their workers, because the reports are written by someone who used to receive them.
The choice of physio is yours
Your employer or the insurer might hand you the name of a clinic near the workplace. That is a suggestion, not an instruction. NSW law gives you the right to choose your own SIRA approved physiotherapist, and to change to a different one at any point in the claim. Many workers start at a clinic near the job site and move closer to home once suitable duties begin. If you switch to PACT midway, we start with one pre approved session and take the approval paperwork off your hands.
A GP referral is not required to begin. Where your injury has not previously been treated by a physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath or accredited exercise physiologist, and treatment starts within three months of the injury, SIRA allows up to eight consultations on an accepted claim before any further approval is needed. Different circumstances change that number, for example up to three where treatment begins more than three months after the injury, so we confirm exactly where you stand with your insurer or case manager first.
Billed direct to your insurer, nothing to pay at the desk
Shire workers come to us insured through every part of the scheme. We bill the icare scheme agents direct, including EML, Allianz, Gallagher Bassett, QBE and DXC, plus the self insured employers a lot of local people work for, and interstate schemes where NSW treatment is approved. WorkCover Queensland claims are managed here as well.
Invoices go to the insurer at SIRA rates, so nothing is asked of you at the front desk. No bill, no rebate to chase, no gap on an accepted claim, from your first assessment in Miranda through to your final discharge report. Outside a claim, a private initial appointment is $165 for 60 minutes and a follow up is $142 for 40 minutes.

Led by Andrew Ellis
At Miranda you will see Andrew Ellis, our founder and principal physiotherapist, or a physiotherapist working to the approach he built. Andrew is AHPRA registered and SIRA approved. The standard does not shift depending on whose name is in the diary.
Local case managers, rehabilitation providers and Shire employers rely on that. Reports that arrive when we say they will, capacity advice that stands up, and a return to work plan that lines up with what the worksite can genuinely offer.
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.
