Two kinds of provider, and how they fit together

After a work injury in NSW, two different kinds of provider help you recover. Allied health treaters, like physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and osteopaths, deliver the hands-on treatment for your injury. A workplace rehabilitation provider (WRP) is a separate, SIRA approved organisation that coordinates your return to work: they assess your capacity, talk to your employer about suitable duties, and build a return to work plan.

Both must meet SIRA approval standards to be paid under the NSW workers compensation scheme. You are not stuck with whoever you are first sent to. In most cases you can ask to change your provider, and knowing the difference between a treater and a WRP is the first step to using that choice well.

Work Injury Rehab lists both, sourced from the public SIRA registers, so you can start with real names in your suburb rather than a blank search box. The guides explain, in plain English, what each provider does, how to choose or change one, how the return to work process runs, and what rights you have along the way.

The NSW SIRA provider lists, made searchable

SIRA publishes its approved workplace rehabilitation providers and approved allied health practitioners on separate government search tools. We bring the two together in one plain-English place, organised by discipline and suburb, so an injured worker can see the options without hunting across registers. We list name, suburb and discipline only, and link every guide back to the SIRA and icare source.
