(08) 6110 0570admin@pdchealthhub.com.auInjured at work in Perth? Our physios assess your injury, plan your recovery and keep your employer and insurer informed, so you can stay at work or return safely.
A work injury is an injury or illness that happens at, or because of, your work. In Western Australia, the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023 has applied since 1 July 2024.1 In outline, you report the injury to your employer, see a doctor for a First Certificate of Capacity and complete a claim form. Your employer has seven days to lodge it with their insurer, who notifies you of its decision within 14 days.2 Staying at work, or returning safely, is generally good for recovery, and a consensus statement on the health benefits of good work notes that long-term work absence may harm health.3
A physiotherapist assesses and treats the injury and guides safe activity and work capacity. WorkCover WA endorses the Clinical Framework, which asks practitioners to measure whether treatment is working, take a whole-person approach, involve you in your recovery, and focus on function and return to work.4 For workers likely to need more than 10 physiotherapy consultations, a treatment management plan tells the insurer how care follows that framework.5 Your employer sets up a return to work program when required.6

Symptoms are a guide, not a diagnosis. Your GP confirms the diagnosis; our team helps you manage it day to day.
The teams and services that most often support people with this condition. They work from one shared plan, and one GP referral reaches all of them.
Our care follows the Clinical Framework for the Delivery of Health Services endorsed by WorkCover WA, under the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023.
Get first aid, report the injury to your employer and see a doctor for a First Certificate of Capacity. Then complete a claim form. Your employer has seven days to lodge it with their insurer, who notifies you of the decision within 14 days.
Often, yes. Staying at work or returning early with suitable duties is generally good for recovery. Your doctor and physiotherapist advise what you can safely do, and your employer may set up a return to work program with you. Always follow medical advice.
We provide treatment information to the insurer, such as a treatment management plan when more than 10 consultations are likely, and advice on your function and work capacity. Your doctor issues Certificates of Capacity. We explain what will be shared before it is sent.
No referral is needed for private appointments. With a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, Medicare rebates apply to up to five eligible allied health services a calendar year. For a work injury claim, the insurer decides whether treatment and costs are reasonable, so talk to us and your insurer about cover before you start.
It is an evidence-based guide for health practitioners treating compensable injuries, and WorkCover WA endorses its use. It focuses on function, active recovery and return to work, and on checking that treatment is helping.
Tell us what is going on and we will point you to the right discipline, or to more than one. Most people start with a single appointment and leave with a plan the rest of the team can see.
