Workers Comp in Ryde — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Desk work in the Macquarie Park tech offices and shifts at the Gladesville medical facilities produce very different injuries, and both go through the same NSW process. Start with one of our doctors, because the Certificate of Capacity written at that appointment is what opens your claim and sets out the duties you can still do. From there our physios and psychologists carry the treatment, and the claim pays for it.

Workers Comp in Ryde — 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 RydeGet 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.
