Supporting your workforce with fast, patient-centred emergency care.

 

PEHA works with some of Australia’s largest companies to provide timely, high-quality emergency care for their injured workers. When an employee requires urgent medical attention, our experienced emergency teams provide efficient assessment and treatment, with a focus on getting workers the care they need and supporting a safe return to work.

Why PEHA?

We understand that when a worker is injured, timely access to the right care matters to the employee, their manager and their organisation. When you partner with PEHA, you benefit from:

  • Minimal wait times: Our efficient processes help injured workers access emergency care quickly, usually within 30 minutes.
  • Expert care: Our team includes highly trained emergency doctors and nurses experienced in assessing and treating workplace injuries and a wide range of emergency conditions.
  • Clear and transparent fees: We provide straightforward billing and work with employers and relevant insurers to support an efficient claims and payment process.
  • Continuity of care: We provide appropriate discharge information and, where required, work with the worker’s GP and other treating practitioners to support ongoing care.
  • Workforce-focused care: We understand the importance of minimising disruption to your workforce while ensuring every injured worker receives appropriate, patient-centred care.
  • Supporting a safe return to work: Our focus extends beyond the immediate emergency, with appropriate treatment, advice and follow-up to help workers recover and return to work safely.
  • A trusted healthcare partner: We work with some of Australia’s largest organisations to provide accessible, high-quality emergency care for their people.

Continuing your care.

 

Our commitment to supporting injured workers extends beyond their time in the ED.

  • Clear discharge information: Workers receive a discharge letter outlining their assessment, treatment and any recommended follow-up care.
  • Continuity of care: Where follow-up is required, we support a smooth handover to the worker’s GP or other treating practitioner.
  • Ongoing support: Our approach helps ensure workers understand their treatment plan and know what to do if their condition changes or further care is required.
