Alessandra Marcelo

Physiotherapist Penrith, NSW

About this listing

Listed on the SIRA allied health register, Alessandra Marcelo is an approved physiotherapist based in Sydney's far west, near the foot of the Blue Mountains. Physiotherapy is the most common treatment pathway in NSW work injury claims.

Hands-on treatment is usually paired with a home exercise program you keep up between visits. A physiotherapist liaises with your nominated treating doctor as your capacity changes over the claim. Penrith sits at the western edge of the Sydney rail network, close to the base of the Blue Mountains.

Physiotherapy goals under the scheme stay tied to the physical tasks your particular job demands. If a step stalls, that is often the moment to ask questions rather than wait and hope it resolves itself. Clear, early communication between you, your treater and your employer keeps most claims moving. You usually have a say in who treats you, and you can often change providers if the fit is wrong.

Common questions

Is Alessandra Marcelo SIRA approved for NSW workers compensation?

According to the SIRA register, Alessandra Marcelo practises as an approved physiotherapist in Penrith, NSW. A treater needs SIRA approval alongside AHPRA registration to be paid by the insurer, so verify both are current on the official SIRA search first.

Will I have to pay a physiotherapist out of pocket?

On an accepted claim, reasonably necessary treatment from an approved physiotherapist is funded by the insurer under SIRA's fees, not by you. Being asked to pay for approved treatment is worth raising with your case manager.

Can I choose or change my physiotherapist?

Often you can. Choice of treater sits largely with you, and switching a physiotherapist that is not working is a recognised step; raise it through your nominated treating doctor and the insurer.

How do I confirm Alessandra Marcelo is currently approved?

Check the public SIRA allied health practitioner search and AHPRA registration. We publish name, suburb and discipline only and are not affiliated with this provider, so verify approval and suitability directly before booking.
