A workplace injury can stop you in your tracks — physically, mentally, and professionally. Whether it happened in a single moment or crept up over time, the path from injury back to full function can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re also trying to navigate the WorkCover Queensland claims process at the same time.
At Peak Sports and Spine Centre, we treat WorkCover patients every week across our Hawthorne and New Farm clinics. Our job is simple: get you better, get you back, and make the process as straightforward as possible. Here’s what you need to know.
WorkCover Queensland is the state’s workers’ compensation scheme. If you’ve been injured at work — whether that’s a muscle strain, a spinal injury, a repetitive strain condition, or something more complex — you may be entitled to covered treatment at no out-of-pocket cost to you.
To access treatment, you’ll generally need to:
Once you have an approved claim, WorkCover Queensland pre-approves the first six treatment sessions with a registered provider — meaning you can start physiotherapy quickly, without waiting for further paperwork to clear.
Our physiotherapists are registered WorkCover Queensland providers. From your very first session, we focus on what matters most: understanding your injury, reducing your pain, and building a clear recovery plan that gets you back to work and back to life.
WorkCover physiotherapy at PEAK may include:
a thorough evaluation of your injury, movement, and function
hands-on treatment to reduce pain and restore mobility
targeted strength and conditioning programs to rebuild capacity
working with you, your employer, and WorkCover to identify suitable duties and milestones
if your recovery requires more than the initial approved sessions, we prepare and submit this on your behalf
“We bill WorkCover Queensland directly. For approved claims, there are no gap fees for physiotherapy services.”
If your GP has specified chiropractic care as part of your treatment, our chiropractors can see you under your WorkCover Queensland claim. Chiropractic is covered where it has been directed by your treating doctor, and our team is experienced in treating the kinds of musculoskeletal injuries that commonly occur in the workplace — spinal conditions, neck and upper back injuries, joint dysfunction, and postural problems that develop from repetitive work tasks or manual handling.

WorkCover chiropractic at PEAK focuses on restoring function, not just reducing symptoms. Every treatment plan is evidence-based and designed around your specific injury, your job demands, and your goals for recovery.
We’re not a revolving-door clinic. At PEAK, you’re an Athlete — not a file number — and every Coach on our team is committed to your full recovery, not just your next appointment.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Our Coaches treat a wide range of work-related injuries, including:
