Workers Comp in Arncliffe — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Arncliffe claims come off warehouse floors near the Princes Highway as often as they come from offices and venues around Wolli Creek. A claim opens when a doctor examines you and issues a Certificate of Capacity for your employer to lodge. Our doctors write it, and our physios treat manual-handling injuries once the insurer has accepted the claim and taken on the cost.

Workers Comp in Arncliffe — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in ArncliffeGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.
Notify your employer
You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
