Workers Comp in Wollstonecraft — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital and allied-health staff around Wollstonecraft and St Leonards spend their days managing other people's injuries and often delay reporting their own. If a lift or a long shift has done damage, book your own appointment and ask for a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors examine you and set out the duties you can safely keep doing. Our physios treat the injury, and the claim covers what that costs.

Workers Comp in Wollstonecraft — 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 WollstonecraftGet 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.
