Workers Comp in Darling Island — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
By the time a financial adviser running back-to-back client meetings in Darling Island realises a stress-related psychological injury or chronic lower-back pain isn't fading, the workers compensation clock is already running. Most of the work is in the first appointment: the medical record from that first visit. Until the GP report is in, even an obvious injury sits in administrative limbo.

Workers Comp in Darling Island — 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 Darling IslandGet 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.
