Workers Comp in Gore Hill — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Manual handling injuries in nursing build up over years and are still claimable when they finally stop you working. So are the neck and wrist problems that come from long hours at a screen in the Gore Hill offices. Either way, book with a doctor, get the Certificate of Capacity and lodge it with your employer. Our physios and psychologists treat the injury once the insurer accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Gore Hill — 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 Gore HillGet 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.
