Workers Comp in Lilli Pilli — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Marine trades around Port Hacking and the crews renovating the steep foreshore blocks make up much of Lilli Pilli's working population, alongside hospitality and office roles. A doctor's examination is the first step in any claim. Limits on lifting and working at height go onto the certificate our doctors write. The claim, once accepted, pays for your sessions with our physios.

Workers Comp in Lilli Pilli — 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 Lilli PilliGet 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.
