Workers Comp in Taren Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A familiar Taren Point scenario is a formworker whose lower back went on a strip-down needing a clear way forward. The first step is the one that matters most: an early GP visit with a clinic that has done these claims more than once. The workers compensation system rewards a tidy first record from a capable GP.

Workers Comp in Taren 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 Taren 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.
