Workers Comp in Run-o-waters — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Patient transfers, supermarket floors and depot lifting explain most claims from Run-o-Waters, and none of them look serious at the time. See a doctor even when the injury seems minor, because the Certificate of Capacity is what allows treatment to be funded. Our doctors write and update it through your recovery, while our physios work on the back and shoulder damage those shifts cause.

Workers Comp in Run-o-waters — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Run-o-watersGet 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.
