Workers Comp in Waitara — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hornsby Hospital shifts and long days on the Westfield retail floor cause the injuries behind most Waitara claims. Aggression and assault at work count as injuries too, including the psychological part. Our doctors assess both the physical and psychological side and issue the Certificate of Capacity. Our psychologists treat the assault-related injuries and our physios the physical ones, all under the accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Waitara — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in WaitaraGet 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.
