Woolworths Australia: Is Employer entitled to withhold my claim documentation?

I injured myself at work and am going through the claim process, which is terrible as Woolworths have their own insurer and everything is done internally. Some background info: When I saw my doctor for the injury they didnt note it down as a workplace injury In order to complete the claim I need a “fit for work” certificate. Doctor won't give me a “fit for work” certificate as he doesn't believe it was a workplace injury, according to his notes. Said if I was able to get the paperwork that woolworths have recorded about the claim and initial injury report they would be able to help Store manager is refusing to give me the documents. What are my options?
