WorkCover Doctor in Werribee

An injury at work brings two problems at once: the injury itself, and a claims process that can feel confusing when you’re already in pain. A WorkCover doctor helps with both. Your GP will assess what happened, treat the injury, complete the forms WorkSafe Victoria needs, and help plan a safe return to your usual duties.

Our doctors have emergency and procedural training. Many injuries, such as sprains, cuts and minor fractures, can be assessed and managed in the clinic.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Your GP will ask how the injury happened, examine you and arrange any tests or imaging needed. If you are unable to do your normal work, or can only do modified duties, your doctor will complete a WorkSafe Certificate of Capacity. This records what you can and can’t do safely. Treatment may include medication, wound care, a referral to physiotherapy, or a specialist referral for more complex injuries.

Bring your employer’s details, the date of the injury, any claim number you already have, and photo ID.

Ongoing Recovery and Return to Work

Recovery is reviewed at follow-up appointments and your Certificate of Capacity is updated as things improve. Your GP can communicate with your employer, return-to-work coordinator and insurer, so your duties match your recovery. Physiotherapy is available through our allied health practitioners.

Work-related consultations are not billed through Medicare in the usual way, and some paperwork attracts a fee. Our fees and billing information for WorkCover and TAC claims sets out how this works.
