Workers Comp in Greenwich — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nursing injuries and desk-based strain both belong in the workers compensation system, and Greenwich sends us plenty of each. Book a medical appointment early, since the Certificate of Capacity it produces is what your employer lodges with the insurer. Our doctors set the work restrictions and our physios treat the injury, with our psychologists handling accepted claims that involve aggression at work.

Workers Comp in Greenwich — 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 GreenwichGet 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.
