Workers Comp in North Turramurra — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
North Turramurra professional-services commuters, private-school teaching staff and Federation-renovation tradies, all sit in front of the same first paperwork hurdle on the workers comp side. Everything keys off the Certificate of Capacity; until it is signed the workers comp claim is essentially an unanswered phone call. From there the conversation shifts from 'what do I do' to 'when is the next appointment'.

Workers Comp in North Turramurra — 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 North TurramurraGet 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.
