Workers Comp in Potts PointWhere to Start

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

Hospitality work around Potts Point produces a steady trickle — a front-of-house worker with chronic foot pain after years standing. It traces back to one early visit: the medical certificate from the first appointment. With nothing on paper, the insurer cannot move from inbox to action. Most workers compensation files come good once that first record is in.

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.
