Workers Comp in Bankstown — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Manufacturing and retail carry most of the employment around Bankstown, and both wear on the same joints over time. If an injury has stopped you working normally, a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity come first. Our doctors do the certificate and our physios take on the joint and muscle work. Our psychologists help where the injury has affected work confidence, and none of that is charged to you on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Bankstown — 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 BankstownGet 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.
