Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a Work Cover medical appointment?
A Work Cover medical appointment involves assessing your workplace injury, discussing how the injury occurred and documenting your current symptoms. Your doctor will examine the affected area, recommend treatment, and complete any required Work Cover documentation. This may include a Work Capacity Certificate outlining your ability to work and any temporary restrictions. Your doctor may recommend follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and support your return to work safely.
How do I start a Work Cover claim?
To start a Work Cover claim, you typically need to notify your employer of the injury and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Your doctor will assess your injury and provide a Work Capacity Certificate, which forms part of your claim. You or your employer will then submit a claim to your state’s Work Cover authority. Claims are assessed based on the information provided by your doctor, employer and any additional investigations.
Can I return to work while recovering from an injury?
Returning to work while recovering from an injury is often possible, depending on your condition and your doctor’s recommendations. Your Work Capacity Certificate will outline whether you are fit for full duties, light duties, or require time off work. A gradual return to work with modified tasks may be recommended to support your recovery. Your doctor and employer will work with you to create a safe return-to-work plan that matches your capacity.
How often will I need follow-up appointments?
The number of follow-up appointments depends on the severity of your injury and how your recovery progresses. Some injuries may only require a single follow-up visit, while others may need regular monitoring. During each appointment, your doctor will assess your recovery, update your Work Cover documentation and adjust your treatment plan if needed. Follow-up appointments also provide an opportunity to discuss your return-to-work timeline and address any ongoing concerns.
