Workers Comp in Burwood North — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Kitchen burns and retail lifting injuries in Burwood North are workers compensation matters from the moment they happen. Book in with one of our doctors, who will examine you and write the Certificate of Capacity that opens the claim and records the duties you can still manage. Desk-based neck and wrist strain counts too, even when it built up slowly, and our physios treat it once the insurer accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Burwood North — 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 Burwood NorthGet 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.
