Workers Comp in Drummoyne — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Drummoyne's marina trades and the Lyons Road shops and cafes sit alongside a large commuting office workforce. However your injury happened, a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity have to come before the claim is lodged. We book a WorkCover doctor for that assessment, and line up physio for boat-handling strains and desk-related neck and wrist problems once the insurer accepts your claim.

Workers Comp in Drummoyne — 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 DrummoyneGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
