Medical care for workplace injuries
We have clinics around the country that specialise in treating workplace injuries - without an appointment.
Acute work injury treatment
We offer acute workplace injury management in many of our workplace health clinics, and we are equipped to treat most occupational injuries and illnesses.
Unlike general practice clinics, we only treat workplace and occupational injuries. This means we provide a high level of expertise in workplace health and a focus on early return to work whenever possible.
What’s more, you don’t need to make an appointment if you have an acutely injured employee who requires medical treatment.
Services provided by our workplace health clinics includes:
- suture of lacerations.
- removal of foreign bodies from eyes.
- treatment of fractures, spike injuries, crush injuries, head injuries (contusions).
- treatment of insect bites, skin reactions, burns and skin conditions
- treatment of muscle strains.
We do not provide treatment for serious or life threatening medical conditions.
Getting a second opinion
We also offer a 'second opinion' service to employers, either on an ad hoc basis or every time an employee suffers a work related injury or illness.
In the majority of cases a second opinion is used to manage rehabilitation and broker a return to work between general practitioners, employees and employers. It is also used to help manage employees with other health problems which may be affecting their work performance.
