Workers Comp in Barden Ridge — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Technical work at ANSTO brings repetitive strain and lifting injuries that build up quietly, while Shire renovation work brings knee and back damage. A Certificate of Capacity from a doctor is what turns either one into a claim. Our physios treat the strain injuries, and our doctors write the reviews the insurer asks for as you go. Describe the full task to the doctor, including the parts before it hurt.

Workers Comp in Barden Ridge — 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 Barden RidgeGet 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.
