Workers Comp in North Epping — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Teaching load and screen load do different damage, and both turn up in claims from North Epping. If your wrist, back or voice has given out at work, a doctor needs to examine you and write a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer will look at treatment or wages. Our doctors do that assessment and review it as things change, and our physios treat the neck, wrist and shoulder problems that come with it.

Workers Comp in North Epping — 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 EppingGet 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.
