Alicia Chan
About this listing
Alicia Chan is a SIRA approved physiotherapist practising on Sydney's Lower North Shore, according to the public register. Physiotherapy goals under the scheme stay tied to the physical tasks your particular job demands.
A physiotherapist liaises with your nominated treating doctor as your capacity changes over the claim. Early physiotherapy after an injury is aimed at protecting movement and preventing avoidable deconditioning. The Lower North Shore is well covered for allied health, with good transport links from surrounding suburbs.
In a workers compensation claim, a physiotherapist documents your functional capacity, which feeds directly into your return to work plan. Keeping copies of your certificates of capacity and your return to work plan makes each stage easier to follow. Staying connected to work on duties matched to your capacity generally leads to better recovery outcomes than waiting at home. A good provider explains each step and treats your plan as something built with you, not handed to you.

Common questions
Is Alicia Chan SIRA approved for NSW workers compensation?
The public SIRA allied health practitioner register lists Alicia Chan as a physiotherapist in Chatswood. Funding under the NSW scheme needs both SIRA approval and current AHPRA registration, and because the register is updated frequently you should check it yourself before booking.
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?
Usually, yes. You generally choose your nominated treating doctor, and you can normally choose and change your allied health treaters. If the fit is wrong, raise it with your nominated treating doctor and let the insurer know. Reasonable requests to change providers are a normal part of the scheme.
How do I confirm Alicia Chan is currently approved?
Look Alicia Chan up on SIRA's allied health practitioner search and confirm AHPRA registration is current. This directory carries name, suburb and discipline only and is independent of the provider, so always check the source before engaging.
