Workers Comp in Double Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Standing all day on a Double Bay shop floor, or bending over clients in a treatment room, causes injuries that build up rather than happen at once. Those still count as work injuries in NSW, and our doctors can assess you and write the Certificate of Capacity that opens the claim. Our physios treat the neck, shoulder and back problems this work produces, and an accepted claim pays for those sessions.

Workers Comp in Double Bay — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Double 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.
Common workers comp claims in Double Bay
