Workers Comp in Hazelbrook — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Voice strain and lower-back pain from teaching are work injuries, even though they take years to develop. Cafe slips and burns along the highway at Hazelbrook count the same way. Start with a doctor's appointment and the Certificate of Capacity, and tell your employer what has been happening. Our physios and psychologists treat what the accepted claim covers, and our doctors handle the medical reporting.

Workers Comp in Hazelbrook — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in HazelbrookGet 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.
