Workers Comp in East Lindfield — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Screen-based work causes real injuries, and the neck, wrist and lower-back claims coming out of East Lindfield are as legitimate as any site injury. The step people skip is the medical one, since a doctor needs to examine you and write the Certificate of Capacity the claim depends on. Both parts happen here, with our doctors writing certificates and our physios treating the strain behind them.

Workers Comp in East Lindfield — 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 LindfieldGet 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.
