Workers Comp in Caravan Head — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Boat-yard work, carpentry and shop shifts around Caravan Head each carry their own injuries, and none of them are worth working through untreated. The first step is medical: an examination, treatment for the injury, and the Certificate of Capacity that starts the claim. Our doctors handle rigging and welding injuries alongside retail lifting strain, and our physios do the hands-on rehab once treatment is covered.

Workers Comp in Caravan Head — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Caravan HeadGet 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.
