Workers Comp in Blakehurst — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Shop work on King Georges Road, nursing shifts at St George and renovation jobs on the old brick houses give Blakehurst a steady flow of workers compensation claims. Whatever the injury, the claim opens with a doctor and a Certificate of Capacity recording what you can safely do. Our doctors write that certificate. Our physios treat the patient-handling strain, the retail lifting injuries and the wear that comes off the tools.

Workers Comp in Blakehurst — 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 BlakehurstGet 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.
