Workers Comp in The Entrance — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Housekeeping and hospitality work fills the roster around The Entrance, and the injuries follow the tasks, from wet-floor falls to repetitive strain across long service shifts. Casual staff are covered by NSW workers compensation the same as permanent staff. Getting examined is what opens the claim, and the certificate comes out of that visit. Our doctors and physios take the treatment from there, with the insurer paying once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in The Entrance — 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 WorkCover doctor in The EntranceGet 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.
