Workers Comp in Bar Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Everything at Bar Point moves by water, including you after an injury on a work boat or a wharf. Once you are ashore, a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity are what start the claim. We book a WorkCover doctor for both, and line up physio for the shoulder and back damage of running gear across the estuary. New certificates are issued as you go, until you are back on full duties.

Workers Comp in Bar Point — 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 Bar PointGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
