Workers Comp in Chatswood West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Chatswood West workers compensation cases often track back to a project manager on a delivery deadline carrying a stress-related psychological injury or migraines from screen overuse. It comes down to that first GP visit; a workers comp-literate doctor can have the file open by the end of the appointment. Once filed, the treatment plan, wage payments and review schedule each find their slot.

Workers Comp in Chatswood West — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Chatswood WestGet 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.
