Workers Comp in Dangar Island — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Work on Dangar Island means ferry timetables and carrying gear up streets no vehicle can use. If that work injures you, your first job is a medical appointment and the Certificate of Capacity that comes out of it. Our doctors write that certificate, and with an accepted claim our physios treat the back and shoulder injuries so you can get back to your job.

Workers Comp in Dangar Island — 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 Dangar IslandGet 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.
