Workers Comp in BlaxlandWhere to Start

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

Roofers and concreters working the older mountain housing stock make up a large share of Blaxland claims, with falls from height and knee injuries leading the list. Book the medical appointment first, because it produces the Certificate of Capacity your employer needs. On an accepted claim the insurer pays for your physio and medical care. Rehabilitation for those knees, backs and shoulders is our physios' work, with our doctors on the certificates.

Workers Comp in Blaxland — How It Starts

1

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.

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.
