Are you an injured worker who needs the help of a medical specialist to move forward in your rehabilitation? Are you an employer with an injured employee needing assistance?
We provide a range of face-to-face specialist medical services to assist in the management of work-related illness and injury, both for prevention and treatment.
Occupational Physicians are specialist medical practitioners; they are Fellows of the Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (FAFOEM) which is part of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
