Workers Comp in Sylvania Waters — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Around Sylvania Waters, it often looks like this — a brickie whose elbow has finally given out after months of laying flat-out. It always returns to one visit: the doctor's note written at the first appointment. Before that lands, the insurer has nothing concrete to fund or approve. A GP who has done a few WorkCover claims will know exactly what to write.

Workers Comp in Sylvania Waters — 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 Sylvania 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.
