What Is WorkCover Queensland?

WorkCover Queensland is a statutory body that provides workers’ compensation insurance to Queensland employers. It supports businesses and their employees in case of workplace injuries.

At Build Physiotherapy, we work hand in hand with WorkCover Queensland, ensuring our clients receive the benefits they are entitled to while providing top-notch physiotherapy services for their recovery.

  5. Pre-Approved Treatment: Upon the approval of your claim, you’ll be entitled to five pre-approved physiotherapy sessions.
