Workers Comp in East Killara — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Desk work does not look dangerous until a neck or wrist gives out, and the carpenters and tile-setters on East Killara's heritage renovations know the more obvious version. Teaching staff at the local schools get injured as well. Whichever it is, the process runs on a Certificate of Capacity from a doctor, and ours can assess you and write it, then keep treating you once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in East Killara — 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 East KillaraGet 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.
