Workers Comp in Willoughby North — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
When a claim from Willoughby North lands, it usually starts with a paramedic with a buckled knee from a heavy patient transfer. It always begins the same way: the medical record from that first visit. Until that one record exists, the file has nothing to grow around. A GP who has done a few WorkCover claims will know exactly what to write.

Workers Comp in Willoughby North — 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 NorthGet 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.
