Workers Comp in Carss Park — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Getting the injury on record is the part people skip. In Carss Park that means a doctor's appointment before anything else, with the Certificate of Capacity written at the end of it. Our doctors handle that appointment and the ones that follow, and our physios treat the patient-handling back injuries, retail slips and long-term wrist strain that local work produces. An accepted claim covers the cost of it.

Workers Comp in Carss Park — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Carss ParkGet 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.
