Workers Comp in Hmas Rushcutters — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Repetitive lifting on a working wharf wears out shoulders, and engine noise does the same to hearing over a career. Both are claimable in NSW for civilian workers, and both start with a medical appointment and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors take the exposure history that these claims depend on. Once the insurer accepts, our physios treat the shoulder and back side of it, with treatment covered under the claim.

Workers Comp in Hmas Rushcutters — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Hmas RushcuttersGet 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.
