Workers Comp in Ruse — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nurses handling patients, retail staff on their feet and tradies on renovation jobs around Ruse all need the same document when they get hurt, which is a Certificate of Capacity. A doctor writes it after examining you, and your employer passes it to the insurer. We book that appointment with a WorkCover doctor, then line up physio for the back, knee and shoulder.

Workers Comp in Ruse — 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 RuseGet 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.
