Common questions
Does WorkCover cover a chiropractor in Queensland?
Chiropractic care can be part of a WorkCover Queensland claim. At Innervate Chiro in Woolloongabba, care for WorkCover claims is bulk billed with a GP referral, so there's no out-of-pocket cost to you. Bring your claim number and referral to your first visit.
What do I need to start a WorkCover claim?
A work capacity certificate from your doctor. WorkCover Queensland can't make a decision on your claim without one, so ask for it at your first GP appointment, then lodge your claim online or by phone.
Do I need a GP referral?
Not to see Dr Matt. You can book directly. You only need a GP referral for your care to be bulk billed under WorkCover, so ask for it at the same appointment as your work capacity certificate.
What if I don't have a claim number yet?
You can still come in. Until you have a claim number, visits are charged at our regular rates, usually between $60 and $80. Once your claim is accepted and you have a GP referral, your care is bulk billed.
Can I keep working while I get care?
Often, yes. Your GP sets what you can do on your work capacity certificate. Dr Matt will take your duties into account in your care plan and talk you through what to ease off on in the meantime.
Book online or call 0481 88 22 78. Have your claim number and GP referral handy.
