Workers Comp in Queenscliff — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Summer trade through Manly is relentless on the people working it, and burns, cuts and slips fill the claim list from Queenscliff kitchens and venues. Surf instructors and lifeguards add their own back and shoulder injuries to that. We book a WorkCover doctor, who issues the Certificate of Capacity and sets the shifts you can safely work, then line up physio for the burn, joint or back injury.

Workers Comp in Queenscliff — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in QueenscliffGet 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.
