Workers Comp in Lapstone — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Steep blocks make ladder work a regular source of injury around Lapstone, and nursing and retail shifts add their own lifting and slip claims. A claim needs the injury reported and a doctor's examination that produces the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write it and update it while you are on restricted duties. Once the claim is accepted, your treatment sessions are billed to the insurer.

Workers Comp in Lapstone — 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 LapstoneGet 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.
