Workers Comp in Caddens — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nursing and aged-care work around Caddens puts constant load on backs and shoulders, and the trades on the Penrith build carry their own risk. Ask for a Certificate of Capacity at your first appointment, because it records your restrictions for the insurer. Our doctors keep that certificate current as you improve, and our physios treat the lifting and patient-handling injuries once the insurer accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Caddens — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in CaddensGet 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.
