Workers Comp in Normanhurst — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Neck and wrist strain that builds up over years at a desk is claimable in NSW, the same as the back injury a nurse picks up lifting a patient. What both need is a doctor's assessment and a Certificate of Capacity, which becomes the basis for what your employer and their insurer do next. You see our doctors for the certificate and our physios for the treatment the accepted claim covers.

Workers Comp in Normanhurst — 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 NormanhurstGet 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.
