Workers Comp in Connells Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Connells Point workers head off the peninsula each morning to offices, hospital wards or the Hurstville shops. When work injures you, a doctor examines the injury and completes a Certificate of Capacity, which is what gets a claim started. Our doctors do that assessment. Our physios handle the strain and manual-handling treatment, and the insurer pays for it from the day the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Connells Point — 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 Connells 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.
