Workers Comp in North Ryde — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Office injuries and warehouse injuries land in the same scheme, and North Ryde produces plenty of both. Whether it is a neck that has seized after years at a screen or a back gone on a pallet lift, a doctor has to assess you and issue the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors handle the medical side of the claim, and our physios treat the injury on the insurer's account once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in North Ryde — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in North RydeGet 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.
