Workers Comp in Waverton — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Corporate work in the Walker Street towers and cafe shifts near the station produce the bulk of Waverton claims. Neck and wrist strain that has built up over years still needs a doctor's examination before the insurer will accept anything. Our doctors set out the wrist and neck restrictions on your Certificate of Capacity. Our physios treat the strain, and our psychologists handle work-related psychological injury on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Waverton — 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 WavertonGet 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.
