Workers Comp in Collaroy Plateau — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Whether your work is at a desk in the city or on the tools closer to home, the NSW steps are identical. The examination gives the doctor what they need for the Certificate of Capacity, and your employer takes it from there. Our doctors see Collaroy Plateau workers for that assessment, and with an accepted claim, physiotherapy for a strain or psychology support for a difficult workplace is funded through the claim.

Workers Comp in Collaroy Plateau — 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 Collaroy PlateauGet 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.
