Workers Comp in Mcmahons Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Mcmahons Point sees its share of injured-at-work residents; a financial adviser running back-to-back client meetings with a stress-related psychological injury or chronic lower-back pain is a common one. It always returns to one visit: a Certificate of Capacity issued at the first appointment. Before that lands, the insurer has nothing concrete to fund or approve. A clinic that handles WorkCover regularly knows the next steps without asking.

Workers Comp in Mcmahons Point — 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 Mcmahons PointGet 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.
