Workers Comp in Long Reef — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Northern Beaches Hospital nurses with patient-handling damage, Long Reef beachfront cafe staff with slip injuries and tradies on the steady renovation pipeline, all end up needing one early doctor visit to start a workers comp file. The Certificate of Capacity from a workers comp-aware doctor is what turns the day from limbo into a claim with a timeline. After that, wage continuity and treatment access stop being a phone-tag exercise.

Workers Comp in Long Reef — 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 Long ReefGet 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.
