Workers Comp in Middle Cove — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Neck, wrist and lower-back strain from long screen hours counts as a work injury under the NSW scheme. We book you in with a WorkCover doctor, who records it and writes the Certificate of Capacity so a claim can be lodged with your employer's insurer. Tradies working on the older homes above Sugarloaf Bay need that same document after a lifting injury or a fall. Accepted claims cover physiotherapy, and we line it up.

Workers Comp in Middle Cove — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Middle CoveGet 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.
