Workers Comp in Birrong — Where 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.

Workers Comp in Birrong — 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 BirrongGet 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.
