Specialist support after a workplace injury
Specialist support after a workplace injury
If you have been injured at work, Injurease provides occupational health GP care and structured recovery support from the first medical assessment through ongoing treatment and Return-to-Work planning. We also help patients understand and manage the medical documentation and coordination that sit alongside a NSW workers compensation claim.
Workers compensation and your recovery
NSW workers compensation may provide eligible injured workers with support such as weekly payments, medical treatment and recovery-at-work assistance. Entitlements depend on the individual claim and current scheme rules. Injurease focuses on the medical side of recovery while helping keep claim-related clinical requirements organised.

WorkCover questions
Can I choose my treating doctor?
Workers generally choose a nominated treating doctor to provide medical advice and recovery-at-work guidance. If you need to change your nominated treating doctor, the insurer can explain the applicable process.
Can I receive weekly payments if I cannot work?
You may be entitled to weekly payments depending on your claim, pre-injury earnings, current earnings and capacity for work. Payment eligibility and calculation are determined by the workers compensation scheme and insurer.
Can Injurease assess psychological workplace injuries?
Injurease can clinically assess and document psychological symptoms within the treating practitioner's scope. Workers compensation eligibility for psychological injury depends on the circumstances and current NSW scheme requirements.
How long will my claim take?
Timeframes vary according to the type of injury, claim information and insurer process. Because NSW workers compensation rules changed in 2026, the website should avoid a single universal decision timeframe and instead direct patients to their insurer or SIRA for current claim-specific information.
What is a Certificate of Capacity?
The SIRA Certificate of Capacity records your diagnosis, treatment needs and current capacity for work. It is an important communication document used by the worker, treating doctor, employer and insurer during recovery.
What should I do after a workplace injury?
Tell your employer as soon as possible, seek medical treatment and ask your doctor about a Certificate of Capacity if a workers compensation claim is being made. Injurease can assess your injury and help organise the medical side of the recovery pathway.
