Workers Comp in Mortlake — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Bayside renovation work keeps a lot of Mortlake tradies in shoulder and back pain that never quite settles. A claim covers it, starting with a doctor's assessment and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write the certificate and stay involved through the reviews, while our physios do the hands-on treatment. Retail and cafe staff with standing-related strain have the same entitlement under the scheme.

Workers Comp in Mortlake — 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 MortlakeGet 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 Mortlake
Workers comp claims in Mortlake most often come from the local retail and healthcare workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Mortlake's old gasworks site has slowly given way to the Breakfast Point and waterfront residential push, with most local workers now in retail, allied health and small-business services along the Mortlake-Cabarita commercial strip. Tradies on the bayside renovation circuit add a noticeable second cluster. Workers compensation matters here lean toward back and shoulder injuries from construction and trade work, plus the standing strains typical of cafe and retail floors.
