Workers Comp in Middle Cove — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Middle Cove injuries cluster around what the local jobs demand — a personal-care worker with a shoulder torn during a hoist lift. The procedural front door is small: the first formal note from a doctor experienced in these claims. From that visit, scans, physio and a written return plan all flow more easily. Most workers feel the WorkCover system shift gear once that first record exists.

Workers Comp in Middle Cove — 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 Middle CoveGet 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.
