Workers Comp in Belimbla Park — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Most Belimbla Park claims open the same way — a concreter with a wrist injury picked up screeding a slab. The opening beat is the same every time: a Certificate of Capacity authored by a GP who fills these out regularly. After the lodge, scans, physio sessions and review dates all build out without friction. In a workers compensation claim, the first appointment carries more weight than most realise.

Book a doctor in Belimbla Park

Get 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.
