What is RTWSA Care?
ReturnToWorkSA (RTWSA) is South Australia's workers compensation scheme.
If you have been injured at work and your claim has been accepted, RTWSA or your employer's insurer pays for reasonable and necessary treatment, including chiropractic care as part of your recovery plan.
You generally have the right to choose your own treating chiropractor. That means you can choose Chiropractic on Winston.
Work Injuries We Treat
Our chiropractors treat a wide range of work-related musculoskeletal injuries, including:
- Back pain (upper, mid and lower back), one of the most common workplace injuries
- Neck pain and stiffness, particularly common in desk-based and manual roles
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff issues
- Sciatica and referred leg pain
- Headaches related to neck tension or spinal misalignment
- Joint pain and restricted movement
- Postural strain from prolonged sitting, lifting, or repetitive tasks

How RTWSA Chiropractic Care Works
- Confirm your claim is accepted: Contact your employer or claims agent (EML or Gallagher Bassett) to confirm your RTWSA claim is accepted and chiropractic treatment is approved.
2. Get a referral if required: Ask your GP to refer you to Chiropractic on Winston. While not always mandatory, it helps your claims manager approve treatment.
3. Contact us, call (08) 7222 8701 and have your claim number and claims agent details ready.
4. Attend your initial consultation, your chiropractor will assess your injury, develop a treatment plan, and begin care at your first visit.

FAQ'S
Do I need a referral to see you for my RTWSA claim?
A GP referral is not always mandatory, but it's recommended. It helps your claims manager approve treatment and ensures everyone on your care team is informed. We can help guide you through the process, just call us.
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. If your claim is accepted and chiropractic treatment is approved, we invoice your claims agent directly. There should be no out-of-pocket cost for approved appointments.
My claim hasn't been accepted yet, can I still come in?
Yes. You can still book and pay privately in the meantime. If your claim is later accepted, you may be able to seek reimbursement from your claims agent.
Can I choose my own chiropractor under RTWSA?
Generally yes. Under the Return to Work Act 2014, workers have the right to choose their treating practitioner. If your employer or insurer suggests someone else, you are not obliged to go there.
What do I need to bring to my first appointment?
Your claim number, claims agent name (EML or Gallagher Bassett), any GP referral or approval letter, and any existing imaging or medical reports. See our full checklist for details.
Will my chiropractor communicate with my claims manager?
Yes. We liaise with your claims manager, treating GP and employer as required, including management plans, reports, and case conferences.
What if my treatment is not approved or runs out?
Contact your claims agent directly. Your chiropractor can also provide a management plan or report to support a request for continued treatment.
