Workers Comp in Cabarita — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hurt on a cafe floor, or worn down by long hours at a screen? A Cabarita work injury needs a doctor's assessment before any of the claim paperwork can start. Our doctors write the Certificate of Capacity, which tells your employer what duties you can manage while you recover. Our physios pick up the neck, wrist and lower-back complaints after that, at no cost to you under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Cabarita — 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 CabaritaGet 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.
