Workers Comp in Point Frederick — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Desk-based work has its own injury list, and the neck, wrist and lower-back problems that come from long hours at a screen are claimable when the work caused them. Allied-health workers around Point Frederick carry plenty of shoulder and back load as well. Our doctors sort out the Certificate of Capacity that starts the claim, and our physios treat what it identifies once the insurer accepts it.

Workers Comp in Point Frederick — 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 Point FrederickGet 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.
