Workers Comp in Belfield — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Checkout scanning and stockroom lifting cause the slow wrist and back injuries that fill the Belfield claim list, and kitchen work adds burns. Report the injury at work, then see a doctor for a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write that certificate and our physios treat the wrist or back injury while the claim runs. You are not out of pocket for that treatment on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Belfield — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in BelfieldGet 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.
