Book a doctor in Longueville
2

Get 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.

3

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.

Common workers comp claims in Longueville

Workers comp claims in Longueville most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.

Longueville is a peninsula suburb with residents mostly in professional services, law, and finance commuting via Lane Cove or the bus to the city. Workers compensation claims locally lean toward office-based ergonomic injuries, but the older harbour-edge housing stock keeps specialist renovation tradies busy and adds a steady stream of carpenter, plumber, and tile-setter claims. The boat-shed and marine-services scene also generates occasional injuries.
