Workers Comp in North Curl Curl — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A hospital ward shift and a summer on the sand around North Curl Curl put pressure on the same shoulders and lower backs. When one of them gives way, the appointment you need is a medical one, because only a treating doctor can issue a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors renew that certificate as the injury settles, and the physiotherapy our physios provide is covered by the accepted claim.

Workers Comp in North Curl Curl — 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 North Curl CurlGet 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.
