Workers Comp in Alfords Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Carpenters fitting out tight Sutherland walk-ups and office commuters with creeping wrist strain both start an Alfords Point claim the same way: a doctor's visit that produces a Certificate of Capacity. Everything keys off the Certificate of Capacity; until it is signed the workers comp claim is essentially an unanswered phone call. From there, the file gains shape and the worker can stop chasing answers in circles.

Workers Comp in Alfords Point — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a doctor in Alfords PointGet 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.
