Workers Comp in South Hurstville — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Standing on a shop floor all day turns into knee, hip and lower-back problems, and those are claimable when the work caused them. The aggression-related and lifting injuries hospital staff deal with sit in the same category. Our doctors assess both, complete the Certificate of Capacity and give your employer what it needs to notify the insurer. Physio, and psychology where it applies, is covered by the insurer under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in South Hurstville — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in South HurstvilleGet 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.
