Workers Comp in Phillip Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Forklift work, wet wharf decks and years of trailer loading sit behind most of the claims that come out of Phillip Bay. A doctor has to see you before anything else happens, because the Certificate of Capacity is the document your employer and the insurer both work from. Our doctors examine the shoulder or back, issue the certificate, and our physios take the rehabilitation from there under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Phillip Bay — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Phillip BayGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Phillip Bay
