Workers Comp in Church Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Boat handling, offshore building work and dockside duty around Church Point cause falls, crush injuries and lacerations that need proper medical attention. Once you are treated, the claim runs on that doctor's examination and the Certificate of Capacity written with it. Our doctors handle that record through the life of the claim, and our physios treat the shoulder and back injuries that boat work causes, funded by the insurer.

Workers Comp in Church Point — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Church PointGet 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.
