Workers Comp in Willoughby East — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Willoughby East finance, consulting and creative workers tied to North Sydney and the Pacific Highway corporate belt share a workers compensation opening. The first step is the one that matters most: the first GP visit, where a doctor used to WorkCover writes the note that opens the file. Without it, the file just sits and nothing moves.

Workers Comp in Willoughby East — 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 Willoughby EastGet 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.
