Workers Comp in The Basin — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Everything about an injury at The Basin is complicated by the water crossing, including getting assessed. Once you can reach a doctor, that appointment covers the treatment and produces the Certificate of Capacity your employer needs for the insurer. We book a WorkCover doctor for both parts, then line up physio for the back and rigging injuries from boat-yard and offshore maintenance work, paid for under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in The Basin — 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 The BasinGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in The Basin
Workers comp claims in The Basin most often come from the local marine services and construction workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
The Basin is an offshore Pittwater community only reachable by boat or ferry, with the small permanent population working in marine services, parks-and-environment roles, and the trades servicing the offshore housing. Workers compensation claims here typically involve marine-handling injuries, the slips and back strain that come with boat-yard work, and the chainsaw and roofer claims from offshore-property maintenance. Distance to medical care complicates injury management significantly.
