Workers Comp in North Balgowlah — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Standing on a retail floor at the Stockland centre wears down hips and lower backs, and desk work over the Spit Bridge does the same to necks and wrists. Both are work injuries, and both begin at the same place, with a doctor examining you and issuing the Certificate of Capacity. The certificate side stays with our doctors, while the hands-on treatment comes from our physios at the insurer's cost once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in North Balgowlah — 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 North BalgowlahGet 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.
