Workers Comp in Lovett Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Work boats, wet jetties and materials carried up steep tracks make Lovett Bay a demanding place to work. If a fall or a lifting injury has stopped you working, a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity are what start the claim. Our doctors provide both and keep the certificate current, while our physios handle the recovery work once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Lovett Bay — 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 Lovett 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.
