Workers Comp in Frenchs Forest — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Clinical work at the hospital precinct dominates employment here, with the Forest Way retail cluster and the Beaches Link civil works layered around it. Patient transfers, floor slips and site falls make up most of the local claims. A claim rests on medical evidence, so the appointment and the Certificate of Capacity it produces come before anything else. Our doctors write those, and treatment for an accepted claim continues with our physios.

Workers Comp in Frenchs Forest — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Frenchs ForestGet 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.
