Supporting Your Recovery, Return to Work and Injury Prevention
At Advanced Health Medical Centre in Bankstown, patients can access comprehensive care under the NSW Workers Compensation (WorkCover) scheme.

The clinic works closely with employers, insurers and rehabilitation specialists to ensure every patient receives evidence-based care from the first consultation through to recovery.
Understanding the Workers Compensation Process
If you experience a workplace injury or illness, you may be eligible for medical support through workers compensation in New South Wales.
The process generally involves:
- Report the incident to your employer as soon as possible.
- Book an appointment with a WorkCover-approved GP for assessment.
- Obtain a WorkCover Certificate of Capacity, which outlines your diagnosis, treatment plan and fitness for work.
- Lodge your claim with your employer or insurer using the certificate.
- Follow your treatment plan and attend review appointments to support recovery.
- Return to work on full or modified duties when your GP determines it is medically appropriate.
Your GP can guide you through each step of the claim process, explain required documentation and help coordinate referrals for any additional care.
If a claim is approved, related medical costs are usually covered by your employer’s WorkCover insurance.
