Workers Comp in Sandy Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ladder falls and lifting injuries on the older homes around Sandy Point tend to arrive with the same question: who pays for the treatment? The answer is the insurer, provided the claim is accepted. Getting there starts with a medical appointment and a Certificate of Capacity, which our doctors complete and update as you recover. Our physios treat the wrist, back and knee injuries that come with framing, tiling and cabinet work.

Workers Comp in Sandy Point — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Sandy PointGet 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.
