Workers Comp in Yowie Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Rigging and boat-shed work carries crush and laceration risk that gets underestimated because the sheds are small operations. If that is where you were hurt around Yowie Bay, tell whoever you were working for and book in with a doctor for the certificate a claim needs. Our doctors stay on the medical side of the claim while you recover. Our physios handle the rehabilitation, which the claim funds.

Workers Comp in Yowie Bay — 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 Yowie BayGet 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.
