Compensable Care at GSMC
Fitness Lab works with a range of compensable bodies including TAC, WorkCover, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). We welcome clients supported by these programs — and we’re here to help you access the care you need with clarity, respect, and professionalism.
Road Accidents
TAC
Injured on the road? Here at the Fitness Lab, we have highly experienced and a wide range of practitioners that will be able to guide you through your rehabilitation. The Fitness lab has state of the art equipment as well as an on site hydrotherapy pool that you will be able to utilize aimed to reduce your pain, repair your body and improve your strength and no matter how complex your injuries are.
GSMC supports recovery following transport accidents and injury, including ongoing rehabilitation.

What to expect
We work with you (and your rehab team, if you have one) to deliver high-quality care that helps you progress with confidence — whether you’re managing pain, rebuilding movement, or returning to work
or sport.
Workplace Injuries
Workcover
Injuring yourself at work can not only be painful and debilitating but can lead to other problems. The Fitness Lab can help overcome your workplace injury with a guided rehabilitation program using the best facilities with highly experienced practitioners in the one location. We can also help take the stress out of your injury with a vast range of specialized work cover practitioners helping you through the workcover journey.
What we need before your first appointment
- A current WorkCover claim number and insurer details
- Contact for your case manager (if applicable)
- Details of any approved sessions
What to expect
You’ll receive an individualised plan that evolves as you recover, and we’ll stay in communication with your insurer and rehab team. We support return-to-work goals and gradual reintroduction to physical activity where appropriate.
