Active rehabilitation for injury
Our focus is on meaningful outcomes to ensure those people on a claim can have the very best chance of returning to normal life in a timely and sustainable manner.

How to get started - For workcover claims
If you are an employee and have been injured at work you must notify your manager as soon as possible to lodge a Workcover claim. Once a worker has obtained an active Workcover Claim they will be entitled to compensation for time off work and the cost of rehabilitation. Patients who have an active workcover claim should speak with their rehabilitation coordinator or nominated treating doctor (NTD) to arrange a referral for Exercise Physiology treatment. Once referral has been made by the NTD, and Exercise Physiology at Empower is stated as the treatment modality on your certificate of capacity, you can contact us to arrange an initial assessment and commence your rehabilitation.
If you have any questions regarding the process of starting or if Exercise Physiology is right for you, please get in contact via phone or email to discuss your situation.
