Workers Comp in Scotland Island — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Getting injured on a barge, a work boat or a building job with water-only access makes the practical side harder, but the claim itself works the same way. Tell your employer what happened and see a doctor for a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write those certificates and review them as your capacity changes, and our physios handle the back, shoulder and laceration injuries that come with boat-based work around Pittwater.

Workers Comp in Scotland Island — 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 Scotland IslandGet 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.
