Finding the Pendle Hill Clinic
Our Pendle Hill clinic sits inside the medical centre on Civic Avenue. There is free on-site parking, and it is a short walk from Pendle Hill Station on the Western Line.
That combination matters more than it sounds when you are injured. Driving may be uncomfortable or restricted depending on your injury, and a clinic you can reach by train without a long walk removes one more obstacle between you and your appointments. Missed appointments are one of the most common reasons recovery stalls.
- Address — inside the medical centre, Civic Avenue, Pendle Hill
- Parking — free, on site
- Public transport — short walk from Pendle Hill Station
- Also available here — shockwave therapy, remedial massage, acupuncture, dry needling
If Pendle Hill is not the more convenient location for you, we also see WorkCover patients at our Homebush clinic.
How Direct Billing Works Here
Direct billing means Hopevana invoices your insurer for approved sessions rather than charging you and leaving you to claim it back. You do not pay on the day, you do not submit receipts, and you do not wait on a reimbursement.
You book, we check your claim
Bring your claim number and insurer details. Our team confirms what has been approved before your first session so there are no surprises.
You are assessed and treated
Your physiotherapist assesses the injury, discusses how it happened and what your job involves, and starts treatment.
We invoice the insurer directly
Approved sessions are billed to your insurer. No payment from you, no gap fee, no paperwork on your side.
We handle approvals as treatment continues
If further sessions are needed, we communicate with your insurer so your treatment continues without an administrative gap.

Workplace Injuries We See at Pendle Hill
Western Sydney has a high concentration of warehousing, construction, manufacturing and aged care work, and the injuries we see at Pendle Hill reflect that. Manual handling injuries and repetitive strain are common, alongside desk-based neck and shoulder problems.
- Lower back injuries from lifting, twisting or repeated manual handling
- Shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff strain from overhead work
- Repetitive strain affecting the wrist, elbow and forearm
- Neck and upper back pain from prolonged desk or driving postures
- Post-surgical rehabilitation following a workplace injury
Treatment is built around your injury and around what your job actually asks of you. A storeperson returning to lifting has different requirements from someone returning to a desk, and the rehabilitation plan should reflect that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay anything at the Pendle Hill clinic?
No. Once your claim is accepted and your insurer has approved physiotherapy, Hopevana bills them directly for those sessions. There is no payment on the day and no gap fee. If you attend sessions beyond what has been approved, we will tell you before that happens rather than after.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your claim number, your insurer’s name, and your Certificate of Capacity if your GP has issued one. If you have had scans or specialist reports relating to the injury, bring those too. Wear or bring clothing that lets us examine and move the injured area comfortably.
How do I get to the clinic without driving?
The clinic is a short walk from Pendle Hill Station, so it is reachable on the Western Line. If your injury makes travel difficult, mention it when you book — depending on your circumstances and funding, a home visit may be an option worth discussing.
My claim has not been approved yet. Can I still book?
You can book, but the billing arrangement depends on your claim status. Speak with your GP or insurer about where your claim sits, and call us on 0411 057 420 first. We will explain what your options are so you are not left with an unexpected invoice.
Can I switch to Hopevana from another WorkCover physio?
Yes. You are entitled to choose your treating physiotherapist. Let your insurer and case manager know you are changing provider, and we can take it from there. Bring any treatment notes or reports from your previous provider if you have them.
