Workers Comp in Rushcutters Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Rigging and boat-handling work at the yacht club puts sudden load through shoulders and backs, and the bar and restaurant strip nearby produces its own burns and lifting injuries. We book workers from both in with a WorkCover doctor, whose Certificate of Capacity opens the claim and records your work restrictions. We then line up physio for the shoulder, back and joints, funded by the insurer under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Rushcutters Bay — 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 Rushcutters BayGet 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.
