WorkCover Physiotherapy in Geelong: Your Guide to Recovery and Support

If you’ve been injured at work, navigating your recovery journey can feel overwhelming. At Strengthen Up Physio, we specialise in WorkCover physiotherapy in both of our clinics in Geelong CBD and Grovedale, helping injured workers regain mobility, strength, and confidence to return to work safely and effectively.

What is WorkCover Physiotherapy?

WorkCover physiotherapy is a treatment provided under the WorkSafe Victoria insurance scheme, designed to support workers who have sustained injuries while on the job. It covers the cost of physiotherapy sessions that are necessary for your recovery, including rehabilitation exercises, manual therapy, and injury education. Note: There may be a small gap to make up the remainder of the physio cost after the first session.

Who Is Eligible for WorkCover Physiotherapy in Geelong?

You are eligible for WorkCover-funded physiotherapy if:

  • Your injury occurred at work in Victoria

  • You have a WorkCover claim number

  • Your claim has been accepted by WorkSafe or your employer’s insurer

Once your claim is approved and you have a claim number, you can begin physiotherapy immediately - no referral is needed.

Common Workplace Injuries We Treat

At our Geelong CBD and Grovedale clinic’s, we regularly treat a wide range of workplace injuries, including:

  • Lower back pain and disc injuries
