Workers Comp in Little Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nursing and personal-care work around Little Bay's seniors-living precinct runs alongside the maintenance and grounds crews who keep it going. Report the injury to your employer, then see a doctor for the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write it and set out what duties you can manage. The insurer funds your physiotherapy once the claim has been accepted.

Workers Comp in Little Bay — 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 Little BayGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Little Bay
Workers comp claims in Little Bay most often come from the local healthcare and aged care workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Little Bay has shifted from a quiet coastal pocket to a dense residential and seniors-living precinct, with the Prince Henry redevelopment drawing healthcare, aged-care and retail workers into the area. Workers compensation presentations from Little Bay are dominated by nursing and personal-care manual-handling injuries, supplemented by maintenance, groundskeeping and golf-course staff dealing with shoulder and knee complaints from years of repetitive outdoor work.
