Workers Comp in North St Ives — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Desk work does most of its damage slowly, which is why wrist and back claims from North St Ives often arrive long after the injury started. A doctor still has to examine you and write a Certificate of Capacity for the claim to proceed. Our doctors take that on, and our physios build a treatment plan the insurer funds under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in North St Ives — 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 St IvesGet 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.
