Workers Comp in Willoughby North — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Teaching staff and office workers around Willoughby North get injured in quieter ways than the trades renovating the local housing stock, but the paperwork is identical. A Certificate of Capacity from a doctor is required, and your employer has to be told. Our doctors do the medical side and keep the certificate current. Our psychologists and physios pick up from there, on the same claim.

Workers Comp in Willoughby North — 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 Willoughby NorthGet 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.
