Workers Comp in Kingswood — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Psychological injury is as claimable as a bad back, which matters in Kingswood where campus, clinical and construction work all take a toll. In both cases a doctor has to examine you and issue the Certificate of Capacity before the insurer will act. Our doctors do that, and our psychologists treat work-related psychological injury under an accepted claim. Physio for the physical side is covered the same way.

Workers Comp in Kingswood — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For teacher voice strain, posture and back complaints, or playground incidents, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in KingswoodGet 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.
