Funding

WorkCover Rehabilitation in West End, Brisbane

Physiotherapy and exercise physiology for workplace injuries. Once your WorkCover Queensland claim is approved, eligible treatment is billed directly to the insurer — no out-of-pocket payment, and no paperwork for you to chase.

If you have been injured at work, getting the right care early is what decides how the next six months go. Forge West End provides WorkCover rehabilitation — physiotherapy and exercise physiology — for injured workers across West End and greater Brisbane.

How it works

WorkCover Queensland provides compensation and rehabilitation support for workers injured in the course of employment. We work directly with WorkCover, your GP, your employer and your case manager so treatment stays compliant, goal-focused and aligned with return-to-work requirements — including progress reports and return-to-work planning.

What you need to bring

Your WorkCover claim number and a current Work Capacity Certificate or relevant medical referral from your GP. Once your claim has been accepted and your treatment approved, we invoice WorkCover directly and there is no out-of-pocket payment. If your claim is still being assessed, tell our reception team when you book — funding arrangements can be different while a claim is pending, and we will talk through the options with you first.

Two pathways

Physiotherapy, exercise physiology, or both

Most claims start with one and add the other as capacity returns.
