Workers Comp in Balgowlah Heights — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Desk work in the city and renovation work on the harbour side of Balgowlah Heights produce two very different claim types. The process does not change, and it begins with a doctor's examination and the Certificate of Capacity that comes out of it. Our doctors keep the certificate up to date, and our physios treat whichever injury you came in with. Trade injuries and desk injuries draw on the same entitlements.

Workers Comp in Balgowlah Heights — 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 Balgowlah HeightsGet 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.
