Work Injury Care & Support
A workplace injury impacts more than just the physical aspect of your life. There’s time off work, income pressure, job uncertainty, and the added stress of navigating workers’ compensation paperwork while you’re trying to recover. At Smith St Medical Centre Charlestown, our GPs are here to handle the medical side so you can focus on getting better.
We treat a wide range of work-related conditions: back and lumbar injuries, neck and shoulder strain, carpal tunnel and repetitive strain from prolonged desk work, manual handling injuries, on-site slips and falls, and psychological conditions including work-related stress, burnout, and adjustment disorder.
Whether you work in construction, healthcare, retail, warehousing, or an office, we’ll make sure your treatment, documentation, and icare NSW or workers’ compensation requirements are managed clearly and without delay.
