Workers Comp in Northbridge — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A fall on a set of stairs at work counts as a workplace injury, and so does the wrist damage that builds up over years at a trading screen. In both cases the insurer will not move until a doctor has examined you and completed a Certificate of Capacity. While the claim is accepted, the insurer pays for your treatment, and our physios provide it.

Workers Comp in Northbridge — 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 NorthbridgeGet 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.
