Workers Comp in Port Hacking — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Marine fitters, riggers and boat-yard operators around Burraneer Bay work with gear that does real damage when it lets go. Office workers here carry slower injuries that still qualify, like wrists and necks worn down over years at a desk. A doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity open the claim in both cases. We book them, and line up physio for the hand, shoulder and back injuries off waterfront renovation work.

Workers Comp in Port Hacking — 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 Port HackingGet 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.
