Worker’s Compensation
At Asquith Doctors, experienced general practitioners (GPs) provide comprehensive medical care and assessments for patients who have been injured at work.
Workplace injuries can range from minor strains and repetitive-use issues to more complex physical or psychological conditions. Prompt medical review helps support recovery and ensures all required documentation is completed accurately for insurers and employers.
The clinic offers professional management of worker’s compensation medicals in line with WorkCover and SafeWork NSW requirements, with a focus on safety, communication, and ongoing care.
What Is a Worker’s Compensation Appointment?
A worker’s compensation appointment involves a structured medical consultation where your Asquith GP assesses the injury, provides appropriate treatment, and completes the medical certificate required by your employer or insurer.
Your doctor will record the details of the incident, examine the affected area, and arrange further testing or imaging if needed. The aim is to establish the nature and extent of the injury, recommend a treatment plan, and determine any temporary work restrictions.
Follow-up appointments are often scheduled to monitor healing and to update the certificate as your recovery progresses. Where appropriate, your GP will collaborate with physiotherapists, specialists or rehabilitation providers to coordinate a safe and gradual return to work.
Common Reasons to See a GP for Worker’s Compensation
Patients may require a worker’s compensation consultation for:
- Workplace accidents causing injury, strain or sprain
- Repetitive-strain or overuse conditions such as tendonitis
- Slips, trips or falls that occur while on duty
- Exposure to hazardous materials or environments
- Work-related stress, fatigue or psychological injury
- Return-to-work medical assessments and fitness-for-duty certification
Regardless of the cause, seeing a GP early helps ensure injuries are properly documented and managed from the start of the claim process.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
At your first visit, your GP will take a detailed account of how the injury occurred and review any relevant workplace or first-aid reports. A physical examination is conducted to assess the affected area, and initial treatment — such as wound care, splinting, pain management, or rest recommendations — may be provided.
Your GP will then issue a Certificate of Capacity outlining your current abilities and any limitations at work. This document is used by your employer and insurer to determine suitable duties while you recover.
If the injury requires additional investigation, your GP may order imaging or pathology, or refer you to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or a specialist. Ongoing reviews will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan or work certification as your condition improves.
