Workers Comp in Auburn South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Forklift work and long driving shifts sit behind most Auburn South claims, with the local hospitality trade adding burns and slips. The first step after any of them is a medical appointment for a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors examine you and write it, and the back or shoulder injury goes to our physios from there. The NSW scheme is no-fault, so blame does not decide whether a claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Auburn South — 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 Auburn SouthGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Auburn South

Auburn South sits between Auburn and Lidcombe with workers heavily concentrated in the Silverwater and Clyde industrial estates, retail along the Auburn strip, and the freight operations along the Parramatta Road corridor. Workers compensation claims around Auburn South skew toward forklift back injuries, container-handling crush incidents, and the heavy-vehicle driver claims that define the freight workforce. The Turkish, Afghan, and Lebanese small-business community shapes much of the local hospitality.
