Workers Comp in Turramurra — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Desk work, teaching and nursing all cause injuries that arrive without a single obvious incident. That makes the doctor's record of your duties and hours the important part of a Turramurra claim. The WorkCover doctor we book asks about hours, workstation and tasks before writing the certificate. Physiotherapy for the neck and wrist is covered once the insurer accepts liability, and we can find a psychologist for psychological injury.

Workers Comp in Turramurra — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a WorkCover doctor in TurramurraGet 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.
