Workers Comp in Dolans Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The slipways and boatsheds along the inlet are the main physical workplaces at Dolans Bay, with most other residents commuting to an office. Either way, a Certificate of Capacity has to go in with the claim, and it is written at your first medical appointment. That appointment is with our doctors, and our physios treat the back and shoulder strain that slipway handling and long desk hours produce.

Workers Comp in Dolans Bay — 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 Dolans BayGet 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.
