Workers Comp in Auburn — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Production-line and warehouse work around Auburn is repetitive by design, which is why so many claims here involve wrists and shoulders. Repetitive injuries are claimable in NSW, and a doctor's Certificate of Capacity is what gets one started. We book a WorkCover doctor and line up physio for the wrist and shoulder, with the insurer covering the cost.

Workers Comp in Auburn — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in AuburnGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
