Default Unable to work and here on a 457 visa

Hi All, not sure whether this is the right forum to post this query but here goes?

Came here on a 457 visa (4 years as a nurse) and injured my back whilst lifting a patient. The injury has been covered by workers comp with no worries, however, my worry is that I wont be able to return to the ward because of this (possibly need disc surgery) and that my visa will be withdrawn at worse or stand no chance of obtaining Employer nominated support for PR.
Can anyone offer advice?

CM

Only sensible advice is to get urgent professional assistance.

Thanks JAJ, do you mean legal, immigration or medical advice?

You should also talk to your union rep about your employment rights as you have suffered a workplace injury.

Thanks, this sounds like the first port of call.

I'm hoping that I may be worrying needlessly but its a little scary when your new life in Australia could hang in the balance.
Cheers,
