Workers Comp in Cottage Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The Cottage Point workforce is small and the jobs are physical, from boat maintenance to kitchen shifts at the inn. An injury on any of them needs a doctor's assessment and a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer will look at a claim. Our doctors provide both, and our physios treat the back and shoulder damage that builds up over a career spent on the water.

Workers Comp in Cottage 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 Cottage 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.
