WorkCover is a statutory body that provides insurance coverage for work-related injuries and illnesses. This insurance aims to support employees by covering medical expenses, rehabilitation, and wages during recovery. One of the essential services covered under WorkCover is podiatry, which is crucial for individuals dealing with foot and lower limb injuries sustained at work.
To access podiatry services through WorkCover:
At times, individuals may require supporting documentation from a podiatrist to include with their WorkCover claim. This could involve a comprehensive medical report to establish the necessity of podiatry care. If you find yourself in this situation, we are ready to assist with an initial WorkCover assessment appointment.
In general, you have a compelling case for WorkCover compensation if you experience a foot or leg injury under the following circumstances: while at work, during your commute to or from work, during a scheduled work break, or as a direct consequence of performing your job duties.
Podiatrists play a critical role in the management of work-related injuries. They provide expert care focused on rehabilitating the foot and lower limb, ensuring a safe and effective return to work. Here is what you can expect from a podiatrist:
