Workers Comp in Sandy Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A common Sandy Point scenario: a fashion retail assistant on a long Saturday shift ends a shift with a knee injury from steps or wrist RSI from rehanging stock and no clear sense of what paperwork comes next. The first medical visit flips the switch — a doctor who deals with workers comp daily can finalise the paperwork in one sitting. From there, the file finally has a working pulse.

Workers Comp in Sandy Point — 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 Sandy PointGet 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.
