Workers Comp in Bilgola — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Injured on a Bilgola cafe shift, in a surf shop, or on one of the split-level builds up the valley? Book a doctor's appointment before you do anything else with the claim. The Certificate of Capacity from that visit records your injury and the duties you can still perform. Our physios treat the wrist, back and knee injuries from these jobs, and the certificate stays with our doctors.

Workers Comp in Bilgola — 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 BilgolaGet 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.
