Workers Comp in Lavender Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ask anyone hurt at work in Lavender Bay — an HR manager handling a heavy complaints load with a stress-leave claim or insomnia-related anxiety hits the same first decision as everyone else. The opening play is straightforward: a clean clinical note from the opening appointment. Skip that and the claim simply does not register with the insurer. The workers compensation system rewards a tidy first record from a capable GP.

Workers Comp in Lavender Bay — 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 Lavender BayGet 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.
