Workers Comp in Clovelly WestWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Hospital and allied-health work inland from the cliffs is hard on backs and shoulders, and the cafes down the hill add wrist injuries and burns. Tradies working the older cottages file their own claims. The insurer has nothing to act on until there is a medical examination and a signed Certificate of Capacity on file. Our physios and psychologists then treat what the injury left behind, billed to the insurer.

2

Get 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.

3

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.
