Physiotherapy guidelines
Our physiotherapy treatment model provides a structured, standardized approach. It guides you in supporting injured people in their recovery. The model encourages assessment and treatment that helps people reach the physical and functional levels necessary to enable them to return to their pre-injury work.
You'll find more information about our guidelines in our Physiotherapy Services Agreement and Physiotherapy Services Reference Manual.
If you're providing standard or post-surgical physiotherapy services, you can also provide hydrotherapy as part of the treatment.
Checking a worker's claim status
You can perform an initial assessment within 60 days of the injury for any worker who has an accepted or pending claim with us. Before providing treatment beyond the assessment, please check that the worker's claim has been accepted by us.
You can check claim status online, using the link below.
You can also check claim status by calling our Teleclaim team.
