Workers Comp in Akuna Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Work on the water around Akuna Bay tends to injure shoulders and backs, and the cafe and chandlery shifts add slips and burns. Before the insurer sees anything, a doctor needs to examine you and issue a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors handle that, then our physios work on getting the shoulder or back ready for rigging and lifting again. Marine and hospitality workers are covered by the scheme on the same terms.

Workers Comp in Akuna Bay — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Akuna BayGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.
Notify your employer
You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
