Workers Comp in Caringbah South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Injured on a shire renovation job, a shop floor or a hospital ward? The first step does not change: call us, see a WorkCover doctor, and leave with a Certificate of Capacity. We then line up physio for the patient-handling back injuries and the wrist damage that years of cabinetmaking and tiling leave, with treatment funded under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Caringbah South — 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 Caringbah SouthGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
