Work injury GP in Carindale, for a safe return.
Our work injury GP in Carindale helps you get back to work safely after an injury, with WorkCover certificates and regular review consults along the way. There's no out-of-pocket cost for accepted claims.
What to do straight after a work injury
The first few hours and days after a work injury matter for both your recovery and your claim. First, get the right care: first aid on site, emergency care for serious injuries, or a GP visit for most others. Next, report the injury to your employer and make sure it’s recorded in their incident register. Then see a work injury GP for a medical certificate.
At Carindale Doctors, we hold same-day appointments for new injuries. Your GP will treat your injury, complete your WorkCover medical certificate and explain how to lodge your claim. From there, we’ll book regular reviews to keep your recovery and return to work on track.
In short: After a work injury, get first aid or emergency care, report it to your employer, then see a work injury GP. Carindale Doctors offers same-day appointments inside Westfield Carindale for new injuries, with treatment, WorkCover certificates and claim guidance. Accepted claims carry no out-of-pocket cost.
