Workers Comp in Davidson — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Davidson residents mostly work away from the suburb, in city offices, at Macquarie Park or on wards at Northern Beaches Hospital. Wherever your employer is, your claim is a NSW claim, and it opens on a Certificate of Capacity that a doctor writes after examining you. Our doctors do that and stay involved as the claim runs, and our physios treat the desk-related strain and the manual-handling injuries that come off the wards.

Workers Comp in Davidson — 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 DavidsonGet 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.
