Workers Comp in Gore Hill — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Gore Hill workers compensation cases often track back to an accountant deep in EOFY workload carrying a psychological-injury claim or shoulder pain from poor desk setup. The first step is the one that matters most: a Certificate of Capacity issued by a GP used to running these claims. With the report in, treatment costs, lost wages and the rehab schedule all stop being a fight.

Workers Comp in Gore Hill — 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 doctor in Gore HillGet 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.
