Workers Comp in Ben Buckler — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The weekend trade at Bondi puts real pressure on Ben Buckler cafe and venue staff, and wrist strain and slips on wet floors follow. A doctor has to see you and write the Certificate of Capacity for the claim to exist. We line up physio for the wrist and back, and a psychologist if the incident has affected how you feel about the job. None of that comes out of your pocket while the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Ben Buckler — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Ben BucklerGet 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.
