Workers Comp in Berowra Creek — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
On the water at Berowra Creek, the paid work is boats, oyster leases and looking after homes that no road reaches. An injury on a wet deck or jetty sits under the same NSW scheme as any factory or office injury. Ask for a Certificate of Capacity at your first medical appointment, since that is the document the insurer reads. Our doctors issue it and revise it as you improve, while our physios treat the damage that lifting on the water causes.

Workers Comp in Berowra Creek — 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 Berowra CreekGet 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.
