Workers Comp in Point Clare — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Boat handling, ward shifts and cafe work along the Brisbane Water shoreline give Point Clare a mixed claim profile. Anyone injured at work here should be examined by a doctor first, because the Certificate of Capacity decides what duties you can do and what treatment gets funded. We book that examination, and line up back and shoulder physio afterwards.

Workers Comp in Point Clare — 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 Point ClareGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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 Point Clare
Workers comp claims in Point Clare most often come from the local marine services and hospitality workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Point Clare sits on the Brisbane Water shoreline, with locals working in marine trades, council maintenance, hospitality at the local clubs and the office and healthcare jobs across the bridge in Gosford. Workers compensation issues here often involve back and shoulder strain from boat-handling and dockside work, complemented by nursing manual-handling claims and the slip and laceration injuries common across the cafes lining the waterfront.
