Workers Comp in Chatswood — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Office towers and the retail precinct put a lot of Chatswood workers in front of screens or on their feet all day, and both wear the body down. Neck, wrist and back injuries from that work are claimable. The insurer works from what the doctor writes, which is why the examination and the Certificate of Capacity come first. We book that, then line up physio or psychology, with the insurer covering what it costs.

Workers Comp in Chatswood — 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 ChatswoodGet 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.
