Recovering from a workplace or transport accident injury involves more than treatment alone — it involves clear communication between you, your employer, your insurer, and your medical team. We manage that entire process alongside your physical recovery, so you’re not left navigating the claims and communication side on your own.

What WorkCover and TAC physiotherapy involves

Whether your injury is covered under Victorian WorkCover or the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), the physiotherapy process follows a similar structure: thorough assessment, evidence-based treatment, and regular reporting that supports your ongoing claim.

How we support your claim and recovery

  1. Thorough assessment and evidence-based treatment, addressing your specific injury from lifting-related strains to transport accident trauma
  2. Clear, regular reporting to your case manager or insurer, so your claim keeps moving without unnecessary delays
  3. Collaborative return-to-work planning with your employer, including graded duties where clinically appropriate
  4. Communication with your treating doctor throughout recovery, keeping your entire care team aligned

Why early, well-coordinated care matters

Physiotherapy after a workplace injury is associated with faster return to work and reduced risk of long-term disability, particularly when care begins promptly. Research also shows psychosocial factors — stress, uncertainty about the claims process, workplace relationships — can account for a significant proportion of unnecessary work disability, which is why clear communication throughout your recovery is as much a part of our job as the physical treatment itself.

Getting started

Our goal is a safe, sustainable return to work and daily life — not just a signed-off form. If you’ve recently been injured at work or in a transport accident, get in touch as soon as possible; see our Workplace Injuries page for more detail on the specific injuries we commonly manage.

Q & A

Questions about WorkCover and TAC Physiotherapy

Do I need to pay upfront for WorkCover or TAC physiotherapy?

In most approved claims, treatment is billed directly to your WorkCover or TAC insurer. We'll help clarify your specific situation at your first visit, including what happens if your claim is still being assessed.

Will you help with my return-to-work plan?

Yes, we work closely with your employer, case manager, and treating doctor to develop realistic, safe return-to-work plans, including graded or modified duties where appropriate.

What if my claim hasn't been approved yet?

Get in touch with our team — we can talk through your options while your claim is being processed, since early assessment and treatment is generally associated with better recovery outcomes.

Why is communication with my employer so important?

Research on workplace injury recovery shows psychosocial factors — including workplace relationships and clarity around expectations — significantly influence recovery time and return-to-work success. Clear, three-way communication between you, us, and your employer helps prevent unnecessary delays and misunderstandings.

Do I get to choose my own physiotherapist for a WorkCover or TAC claim?

In Victoria, you generally have the right to choose your treating physiotherapist under both WorkCover and TAC schemes — you're not required to use a provider nominated by your employer or insurer.

What happens if my recovery is taking longer than expected?

We'll reassess and adjust your plan, and communicate clearly with your case manager about realistic timelines. Longer recovery doesn't necessarily mean something's wrong — some injuries genuinely take more time, and keeping your claim's paperwork aligned with your actual progress matters as much as the treatment itself.
