Workers Comp in Rushcutters Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Rushcutters Bay Cruising Yacht Club marine tradies, Bayswater Road hospitality staff and CBD-bound finance and legal commuters share a workers compensation opening. What gets the wheels turning is small: a Certificate of Capacity, lodged the same week as the injury where possible. Once it is in the insurer’s system, every later approval is a much smaller fight.

Workers Comp in Rushcutters Bay — 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 Rushcutters BayGet 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.
