Workers Comp in Berowra Waters — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Kitchen burns at the wharf and shoulder strain from ferry work are handled the same way under the NSW scheme. Book with a doctor before you do anything else, because the examination produces the Certificate of Capacity your employer has to send on. Our doctors do that examination and stay across the claim as it goes. Our physios work on the lifting and overuse injuries that marine and cafe jobs at Berowra Waters produce.

Workers Comp in Berowra Waters — 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 WatersGet 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.
