Workers Comp in North Curl Curl — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Whether you're a paramedic off an emergency call in North Curl Curl with a back disc injury from a stretcher carry or PTSD from a critical incident or in a completely different role, the workers compensation process opens the same way. Everything keys off the Certificate of Capacity; until it is signed the workers comp claim is essentially an unanswered phone call. After that, the next steps stop hiding.

Workers Comp in North Curl Curl — 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 North Curl CurlGet 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.
