Workers Comp in Hurstville Grove — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital nursing and trade work on the local brick homes both put load through the lower back, and both sit inside the NSW scheme. Workers around Hurstville Grove start the same way, with a doctor's appointment and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write it in plain terms your employer can act on. Our physios handle the rehab, and an accepted claim pays for it.

Workers Comp in Hurstville Grove — 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 Hurstville GroveGet 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.
