Workers Comp in Caringbah South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Caringbah South claims open the same way — a formworker whose lower back went on a strip-down. The opening sequence is the same: a Certificate of Capacity issued at the first appointment. Once registered, the workers comp pathway moves at a sensible pace rather than crawling. Getting to a WorkCover-experienced GP early is usually the difference between weeks and months.

Workers Comp in Caringbah South — 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 Caringbah SouthGet 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.
