Workers Comp in Balgowlah — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Balgowlah residents work office jobs in the city, and repetitive strain in the neck and wrists is the claim that follows. Cafe and centre staff bring burns and slips into the same pool. Our doctors examine you and write the Certificate of Capacity either way, and our physios treat the injury from there. Your employer arranges duties from what the certificate says.

Workers Comp in Balgowlah — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a WorkCover doctor in BalgowlahGet 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.
