WorkCover GP in Carindale, from injury to recovery.
A WorkCover GP in Carindale who handles your certificates, review consultations and return-to-work coordination. We work directly with your employer and insurer, and accepted claims carry no out-of-pocket cost.
How a WorkCover claim works with your GP
If you’re hurt at work in Queensland, the first steps are to report the injury to your employer and see a doctor. Your WorkCover GP assesses your injury and completes a workers’ compensation medical certificate, which records your diagnosis, treatment and capacity for work. You then lodge your claim with WorkCover Queensland, or your employer’s insurer if they’re self-insured, generally within six months of the injury.
At Carindale Doctors, we guide you through each step. Once your claim number is issued, we provide review consultations, update your certificate as you recover and coordinate referrals for physiotherapy, imaging or specialists. Accepted claims are billed to the insurer, so there’s no out-of-pocket cost to you.
In short: Carindale Doctors is a WorkCover GP inside Westfield Carindale, providing workers’ compensation certificates, review consultations, referrals and return-to-work coordination. We liaise with your employer and insurer, and accepted claims carry no out-of-pocket cost.
