Workers Comp in BirrongWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Metal fabrication, food-line work and depot shifts around Birrong wear people down over the long term, and pallet-jack incidents do it suddenly. Either way, the claim begins with a doctor's appointment and the Certificate of Capacity written there. Hearing loss from years on a noisy floor is claimable too. Our doctors handle the assessments and certificates, and our physios treat the hand, shoulder and back injuries.

Book a WorkCover doctor in Birrong
2

Get 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.

3

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.
