Workers Comp in Currawong Beach — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Currawong Beach claims come from a chef on a busy dinner service dealing with a deep oil burn from a fryer or a slipped disc from a freezer-room twist. The bottleneck is right at the start: a signed report from the first medical visit. Without that early step, the insurer has nothing to manage. WorkCover-trained GPs short-circuit a lot of the admin friction.

Workers Comp in Currawong Beach — 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 WorkCover doctor in Currawong BeachGet 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.
