Workers Comp in Hmas KuttabulWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Dock and stores work around Sydney Harbour produces the same injuries year after year, mostly shoulders and backs, along with hearing damage. Civilian staff and contractors injured at work in NSW start a claim the same way anyone else does, with a medical appointment and a Certificate of Capacity. Hearing claims need testing alongside that certificate. The assessments and the physiotherapy that follows are both done at our clinic under an accepted claim.

2

Get 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.

3

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.
