Workers Comp in Bardwell Valley — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Bardwell Valley residents drive out of the suburb for work, toward the city or the Rockdale hospitals, and the injuries follow those jobs. Nursing back strain and screen-related neck and forearm problems both need a doctor's assessment and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write that certificate, and our psychologists see workers who have lost confidence about going back. Our physios treat the physical side under the same claim.

Workers Comp in Bardwell Valley — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Bardwell ValleyGet 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.
