Workers Comp in Narraweena — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Our doctors treat the patient-handling injuries nursing work causes, along with the lifting strain retail and warehouse staff pick up at Brookvale. Each needs a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer will open a claim, and that comes out of a medical examination. Carpenters and tile-setters working the local housing stock are covered too. Our physios treat the back, shoulder and knee damage once liability has been accepted.

Workers Comp in Narraweena — 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 NarraweenaGet 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.
