If you or your employee has experienced a workplace injury, our EUC Tuggerah Specialist Emergency & Urgent Care Clinic doctors are experienced in assessing and treating work-related injuries to ensure the most rapid recovery and return to work possible.
Before you arrive at our Central Coast EUC Specialist Emergency & Urgent Care Clinic, make sure you promptly notify your employer about your injury, adhere to any established procedures for reporting workplace incidents and let them know you are visiting the EUC Specialist Emergency & Urgent Care Clinic for assessment and treatment.
Our team can issue a Work Cover NSW Certificate of Capacity as well as creating a complete return-to-work plan that confirms your ability to resume work, rehabilitation plan and clearly outlines any required restrictions or follow-up required.
Onsite Imaging, Physiotherapy, and Rehabilitation
Our Tuggerah X-ray facilities in our Fracture Clinic allow us to quickly assess the nature and extent of your injury. If you require more specialised tests, such as an MRI, Computed Tomography or ultrasound, subject to approvals from your insurer we can organise these to occur on the same day as your injury due to our strong relationships with local imaging providers.
Our physiotherapy team are able to treat musculoskeletal injuries, and carry out casting and splinting of fractured limbs, and they will create an individual functional strengthening program, depending on your injury and rehabilitation needs.
