Workers Comp in Rodd Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Long screen hours produce neck, wrist and shoulder complaints that build slowly enough for Rodd Point commuters to ignore them for years. Staff in the Lyons Road cafes deal with more sudden injuries, like burns and slips. We book you in with a WorkCover doctor who opens the claim with the certificate, then line up physio for the neck, wrist and burns.

Workers Comp in Rodd Point — 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 Rodd PointGet 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.
