Can WorkCover Cover Acupuncture in Queensland?

For treatment to be covered, it generally needs to relate to your accepted workplace injury and meet WorkCover Queensland’s treatment and approval requirements.
Depending on your claim, you may need a referral from your doctor or a current work capacity certificate before commencing treatment.
If you are unsure whether acupuncture has been approved under your claim, you can check with your WorkCover claims representative before booking.

Acupuncture and Returning to Work

Where appropriate, Acupuncture treatment may form one part of your overall rehabilitation plan alongside treatment and advice from your GP, specialist, physiotherapist or other healthcare providers.
At Gold Coast Acupuncture, we assess your presentation and tailor treatment according to your individual condition and recovery goals.
