Workers Comp in Cabramatta West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A forklift incident in a Hume Highway warehouse and a wok burn on a Cabramatta West kitchen line need different treatment, though the claim runs the same course. It opens on the medical evidence: a doctor's examination, and a Certificate of Capacity setting out your restrictions in writing. Our doctors carry out that assessment, and our physios take on the lifting and strain injuries afterwards at the insurer's expense.

Workers Comp in Cabramatta West — 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 Cabramatta WestGet 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.
