The doctors at Wollongong Medical Centre are very familiar with the appropriate management of worker's compensation cases and appreciate the need to return to work as soon as possible with suitable restrictions in place if necessary. We are able to provide for yourself or employee: •  Short waiting times. Priority given to patients attending the centre during work time

•  X-Ray, ultrasound, pathology, nurses are on site daily

•  Suturing of lacerations, plastering broken bones, treatment of eye injuries, removal of foreign bodies, daily dressings

•  Designated staff member to oversee the prompt return of management plans and certificates

We believe that we provide a unique high standard of patient care that cannot be paralleled. This is primarily because our doctors and nurses are very experienced in the management of acute injuries. Many have worked or continue to work in our local hospitals and casualty, therefore updating their skills on the management of such patients.

We have the facilities to initiate first line treatment immediately eg. X-Rays, dressings, intravenous antibiotics, pain relief and observation by a registered nurse prior to transfer to hospital if necessary.

By providing a high standard of care without delay, there will be improvement in the patient's recovery rate and health outcomes. Therefore, the possibility of returning to work earlier.

If you are an employer and would like further information regarding our Worker's Compensation Patient Management or require a staff member to oversee the procedure, please contact Christina Dawson, Practice Manager on 4254-2600 or wollmc@bigpond.net
