Workplace injury care

If you have been injured at work, it is important to seek medical assessment early.

Your GP can assess your injury, document your symptoms, recommend treatment and discuss your capacity for work.

This may include support for:

• back, neck or shoulder injuries

• sprains, strains and soft tissue injuries

• repetitive strain or overuse injuries

• work-related pain

• minor wounds or injuries

• stress or mental health concerns related to work

Certificates of Capacity

For WorkCover claims, your GP may provide a Certificate of Capacity where clinically appropriate.

This certificate helps outline:

• your injury or condition

• your treatment needs

• your current capacity for work

• recommended duties or work restrictions

• whether follow-up care is needed

This can help workers, employers and insurers plan a safe and realistic recovery.

Return-to-work support

Your GP may recommend:

• modified duties

• reduced hours

• treatment or rehabilitation

• physiotherapy

• psychology support

• imaging or specialist review

• follow-up appointments

• staged return-to-work planning

Work-related injuries are not always physical. Our GPs can support patients experiencing work-related stress, anxiety, burnout, low mood, trauma-related symptoms or psychological injury affecting their ability to work.
