Workers Comp in Long Reef — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nursing rosters at the hospital, beachfront cafe shifts and the renovation pipeline give Long Reef a broad claim mix, with golf-course grounds staff on top of that. Tell your employer, then see a doctor who can examine the injury and write your Certificate of Capacity. Review appointments with our doctors keep the certificate current. An accepted claim covers the physiotherapy that comes after.

Workers Comp in Long Reef — 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 Long ReefGet 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.
