Workers Comp in Rhodes — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Rhodes packs office towers, active construction and a shopping centre into a few blocks, so the claims coming out of it range from wrist strain to falls from height. Whatever yours is, treatment gets funded once the claim is accepted, and that begins with a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. The certificate and its reviews come from our doctors, with our physios and psychologists doing the rest.

Workers Comp in Rhodes — 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 RhodesGet 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.
