Workers Comp in Hurlstone Park — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Burns, cuts and strain from hospitality shifts do not sort themselves out, and neither does the paperwork behind them. Workers hurt around Hurlstone Park should get to a doctor early, because the Certificate of Capacity from that visit is what tells the insurer what you can still do. Our doctors issue it and our physios treat what caused it, with costs covered once your claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Hurlstone Park — 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 Hurlstone ParkGet 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.
