Workers Comp in Willoughby — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Studio and production work around the broadcast centre carries its own injuries, from trips on a studio floor to shoulder strain across long edit shifts. Add the trades working Willoughby's steep streets and the school staff nearby, and the local claim mix is wide. None of it moves until a doctor examines you and issues the Certificate of Capacity. Treatment with our physios does not come out of your pocket on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Willoughby — 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 WilloughbyGet 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.
