Workers Comp in Port Hacking — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A Port Hacking worker — perhaps a steel-fixer whose back locked up on the deck up tying bar — faces the same paperwork either way. It begins with one Certificate of Capacity issued by a GP who reads the job description in detail before lodging anything with the WorkCover insurer. Once the signature is logged, the wage payments, scans and rehab plan start to line up.

Workers Comp in Port Hacking — 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 Port HackingGet 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.
