Workers Comp in Menai Central — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Retail floors, kitchens and aged-care shifts around the Menai centre produce injuries that build up rather than happen all at once. A WorkCover doctor can still record them properly, treat you and complete the Certificate of Capacity for the insurer. Report the injury to your employer even when you cannot name the moment it started. Physio for lifting strain and joint wear is covered under an accepted claim, and we line it up.

Workers Comp in Menai Central — 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 Menai CentralGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
