Workers Comp in Carlingford — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Screen-based work, classroom hours and aged-care shifts can all cause an injury that stops you working, and Carlingford sends us all three. Getting assessed by a doctor comes first, and the Certificate of Capacity that comes with it covers your duties while you recover. Our doctors handle the medical side from that point, and our physios treat the neck, back and knee strain that desk and campus work causes. The insurer pays for that treatment once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Carlingford — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a WorkCover doctor in CarlingfordGet 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.
