Workers Comp in Connells Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Few things derail a working week in Connells Point faster than a desk-bound analyst on long screen hours dealing with RSI in the forearm, neck pain, or a stress-leave claim. It only takes one Certificate of Capacity from a WorkCover-fluent doctor to convert a stressful situation into an active claim with a real timeline. From there the conversation shifts from 'what do I do' to 'when is the next appointment'.

Workers Comp in Connells 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 Connells 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.
