Workers Comp in Newport — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hurt at work in Newport? Whether it happened behind a coffee machine, up a ladder on a renovation or in one of the marine workshops, a doctor has to examine you and write a Certificate of Capacity. That certificate tells your employer's insurer what duties you can manage. Our doctors look after it, and the insurer picks up the cost of the physio sessions that follow.

Workers Comp in Newport — 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 NewportGet 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 Newport

Newport's village strip along Barrenjoey Road runs heavy on cafes, surf shops, bottle shops and the marine trades attached to Pittwater. Workers compensation matters around Newport commonly involve barista wrist injuries, kitchen burns, retail slip injuries, falls from ladders on older homes under renovation and the back strain that follows long shifts in the boating-supply warehouses and marine workshops along the Pittwater waterfront.
