Workers Comp in Milsons PassageWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Plenty of Milsons Passage workers turn up with the same complaint — a ward nurse with a lumbar strain after a patient transfer. The whole pathway starts here: a quick first visit with a GP who has handled WorkCover before. Until that document exists, the insurer cannot release wages or approve treatment. From there, weekly payments, physio bookings and any review dates settle into order.

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 Milsons Passage
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 Milsons Passage

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

Milsons Passage is one of the river-only-access pockets on the Hawkesbury, with residents mostly working in oyster leases, marine services and the small tourism trade running along the river. WorkCover claims here lean toward oyster-grower wrist and shoulder injuries, slip incidents on wet pontoons, propeller and rigging lacerations, plus the back damage that follows decades of pot-hauling, with most assessments needing a water transfer.
