Workers Comp in Ramsgate — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nurses on the Kogarah wards, chefs on the foreshore and local trade workers all land in the same system when they get hurt at work. Your employer needs to know, and a doctor needs to examine you and complete a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer covers treatment. Our doctors take that appointment, and our physios treat the back, shoulder and burn injuries that come out of ward shifts and hot kitchens around Ramsgate.

Workers Comp in Ramsgate — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in RamsgateGet 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.
